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?

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information he
