I don't see this as anything other than an Outlook problem (rather than a server problem) because if I close Outlook and start it up again (and I sometimes need to open the message in the Outbox and click 'Send' again), the message is then always sent. I have always had this problem, both in the UK and now here in Thailand where I work.

I have searched for an answer on Google using the error code, but no luck so far in resolving the issue.

It can't only be me who is getting this error? Is it a known 'bug', or is there some logical explanation?

Many thanks,

Martin
Hi Martin ,

I've noticed that Microsoft has changed the default SMTP port in Outlook 2007 from 25 to 587.

So, if your ISP's SMTP server does not allow port 587, you won't be able to send e-mails until you change the SMTP port to 25.
