I took the time to read through some of the other smtp errors that were listed in threads and I checked and rechecked my settings
My host has the corect ip for the Outgoing server
I checked by opening a DOS session and telnet ipaddress:25
I retried the telnet without the use of a port and connected to the mailserver and authenitcated with a username and password
It did not like port 25 so I removed the port information from the Macro Express application checked the box for secure authentication and placed the user name and password again.
I continue to receive the Socket Error#11004
Does anyone have suggestions that I might try to resolve the problem?
Thanks!
