tshuser Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 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! Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Welcome to the group tshuser! I have never seen this error before. Are you running a macro when this happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshuser Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 yes the Macro creates an archive file on a networked drive and also picks up mail messages and sends them to multiple recipients. It seems to function correctly but I have to manually click ok on the error to get the process to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Have you reported this to Insight? Was this macro running okay in the past? What happens if you do the same steps manually as the macro does automatically? Do you still get a socket error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 A quick search on the web found several pages with this information: Socket error (#11004): Valid name, no data of requested type. The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address >translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record? Some of the suggestions that I read were to have the DNS record fixed, to contact the ISP (for the mail server), and to enter the IP address and port of the server into the Host Name field. Here are some references: http://www.qksoft.com/qk-smtp-server/socket-error-11004.html http://kbase.pscs.co.uk/index.php?page=index_v2&id=133&c=1 http://forum.goteamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=3599 Also, you may or not need 'Server requires authentication' checked. If you have this checked you may want to uncheck it and try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
