Hello,

I have this irritating error message come up every time Outlook 2003 checks
for new emails. My Outlook is set to obtain email from two ISPs. The
error message refers to the account that is not the Internet connection I
use. I normally don't have a problem retrieving email from this account -
just this nagging error message telling me that the account is trying to
send a couple of emails. Is there some way I can fix this?


"Task 'mail.bigpond.com - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is
unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to
receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service
provider (ISP).'"

Thanks,
Shane

Sounds like you may have a couple of undelivered read receipts for the other
ISP. See if this helps:
