Re: SMTP Error # 0x800ccc60

The third-party server that we use for e-mail replies "connect
failed" on port 25, even if I telnet from a working box, so I can't
tell if that's the issue. Windows firewall is turned of on all
boxes, as we are behind a company firewall.


If I understand you correctly, you telnet from a PC (which has no
problem sending email) to 3rd party mail server thru port 25. The
result is "connect failed". Is that correct? If this is correct, I
doubt you're connecting to 3rd party SMTP server thru port 25.
Perhaps you're connecting thru an uncommon port.


I don't know. All the other clients are sending email fine with Outlook
set to port 25 for SMTP. I just re-tried on this machine, which uses
the same settings for e-mail, is set to use port 25 outbound, is able
to email out just fine, and yet when I try to telnet the
server(GoDaddy) on port 25, , the result is "connect failed". Our
firewall is not blocking telnet, as I can reach my home server from
here.

Any of you Outlook gurus ever seen this one before?

I don't think this is an Outlook issued. This sounds more like
firewall (or connection) problem.

I know it's not Outlook specific, as I mentioned, I set up a
Thunderbird client on one of the affected machines, and was unable to
connect as well. Firewalls are disabled on both machines, as they are
by GP on all our machines, as we are behind a company firewall. All
other machines have SMTP working. As far as the connectivity of the two
boxes in question is concerned, they both can access the internet, and
POP is unaffected.

The reason I posted in here is because I thought it possible that
others had seen the same problem and found a solution that worked for
Outlook.

There are no other problems with the two boxes other than SMTP out.
