outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (smtp) e-mail server
I am getting error msg when I try to send email from outlook 2007. It will
receive, but will not send outgoing email from my webmail. Task 'TDB - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' |

I beat my head against the wall for hours on this one until i figured out that they do this. It's wrong. |

Thanks for the help. I will try that and see where it leads.

I beat my head against the wall for hours on this one until i figured out that they do this. It's wrong. It is not wrong. Port 25 is designated by RFC 2821 for "Mail Transfer". Unless you are running a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA; aka, "mail server"), don't *need* access to port 25. Since 1996, RFC 2476 designates port 587 for "Message Submission". If you are using a "Message Submission Agente" (MSA; aka, "MS Outlook Express", "Mozilla Thunderbird", or the like), you don't need to use a "mail transfer port", but you do need to use a "message submission port". Comcast makes either port 587, or port 465 (w/SSL) available. AT&T (at&t Yahoo! HSI) makes port 587 available on their legacy SMTP AUTH servers; port 465 (w/SSL) on the Yahoo! servers ('smtp.att.yahoo.com'). Other common email service providers have followed suit. I have not needed to use port 25 for two, or three years, now. And I use SMTP with Gmail, GMX Mail, AOL Mail, Yahoo! Mail, and others. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum I have Time Warner Roadrunner as my internet provider. When I am connected directly to Roadrunner (wireless) in my home, I can send email. However, when I am connected to another internet provider, I cannot send email. I do recieve. I spent over an hour on the phone with Time Warner. They had me try the 587 port, but it did not help. They were unable to help. I had written several emails that remained stuck in my Outbox. Once I arrived home and reconnect to my Time Warner roadrunner account, the emails automatically sent. Do you have any advice on how to send emails while connected to a third party internet provider?

Many ISP have the same practices. Speak to your providers tech support.
There is nothing to fix - they may have an alternate port you can use and that is the only fix. Tech support can tell you if they offer an alternate port. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have SBCGLOBAL (yahoo) and was able to solve the issue by changing the SMTP
port to 587. "N. Miller" wrote: On Wed, 2 Jul 2008 20:20:29 -0700 (PDT), benjaminlp wrote: On Jul 2, 4:51 pm, Mrmann wrote: I am getting error msg when I try to send email from outlook 2007.

outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (smtp) e-mail server
I have this exact same issue - e-mail was working fine through Outlook 2007
and now all of a sudden I cannot send. I have three different account through three different outgoing servers and all of them have this problem. I have Time Warner and I just finished a Live Chat with Road Runner and they said I should be able to use Port 25. I have tried changing to 587 and 465 and neither fix works for me. I am at my wits end! |

I am at my wits end! I am struggling with this exact same issue but because mine is a trial version I can't get any telephone support from microsoft. I wondered if anyone else had tried that and what had been said. If you get anywhere I'd be really grateful if you could tell me what the secret is! |

Give an EXACT accounting of your symptoms, describe EXACTLY what you're tried, include the EXACT text of any errors and EXACTLY when they occur. State what you've done in an effort to troubleshoot,as well. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
