Hello:

I am using Windows server 2003 and outlook express. This is my
problem:
I have an account in outlook express and i can send and receive e-
mails when i am using outlook express on this computer. But what i
want to do is sending e-mails from another application via outlook
express. I execute my application, this calls outlook, and it seems
like outlook is sending the e-mail. The e-mail shows up in the
Outbox
window so it makes me think that in any moment it is going to be
sent. But then the Outlook Express window stays with the message
"Connecting..." for a long time and nothing happens. Then I get this
other message that says: Your SMPT server has not responded in 60
seconds . Would you like to wait another 60 seconds for the server
to respond?


Account: mail.mymailserver.com
Server: mail.mymailserver.com


And my e-mail never goes out by itself from the outbox. If I click
on
the outlook interface then the e-mail goes out from the outbox.


Is it a security problem with my application? Or could it be a
security problem that don't let me send e-mails from another
application because the security in the server don't let automatic
processes to send emails using outlook express?


Or is it a configuration in the smpt server that don't let me send e-
mails this way?


HELP, PLEASE?

If that is the exact error message the account is set up wrong in the
'application'
mail.myserver.com is very unlikely to be the right smtp name, but very
likely to be a programmers attempt to remind you to change myserver to your
server as defined by your ISP

If you have obfuscated the account names, that makes it harder to determine
the fault

Are those really the addresses that you see?
My guess is not or if they are that Bob's question is relevant.

Another guess would be that since you consistently mistype SMTP
that what you are really seeing there is another instance of it being
mistyped.

Otherwise switch to a cmd window and enter:

telnet mail.mymailserver.com 25

and tell us what you see? ; )

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Is there any way of testing my antivirus to confirm that it is the
cause of my problem?
Or is there any option toset my antivirus so it would let me send the
messages from my trusted application?

Uninstall it. Which AV is it?

Usually.

The computers AV is McAfee. If you have an idea it would help.

I really don't know what to do because I can't send the e-mails from
my application and it is frustrating.

Uninstall McAfee and then run this:

Avast! is free and good (www.avast.com). So is the Windows Firewall.
