Default Problems Sending with Outlook 2003

Hi there,



I have a client who is having constant problems with his outlook 2003 on his windows 7 laptop. We can’t seem to find anyone who can help solve this problem. We’ve gone through all the tests that the Microsoft website has suggested to no avail. We’re hoping that someone out there has had a similar problem to ours.

Our client can’t seem to send emails. He can receive emails most of the time. He has this problem when he’s at home and when he travels as well. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to his problem. We have done several tests changing the kind of ports and preformed these tests on a PC and a Mac. We’ve tried:

1) Use out going SMTP port 587
2) Change the Outgoing server authentication method
3) Use IP address as out going mail server

I made sure Authentication was checked changed the port 587 and 110. I received the error: Trying to log into the SMTP server "smtp.example.org" failed. I made sure the user name and password I entered was correct. During one test when I took the account back online, the emails downloaded just fine. I then went to the PC and to outlook to try to get the email account set up there and it wouldn't work.

I set everything up with the authentication and port change and received this error:

Task 'mail.example.org - Receiving' reported error (0x800ccc90): Your incoming (POP 3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to recieve this message, contact your administrator or internet provider (ISP). The server responded 220ps11.myhostcenter.com ESMTP

MAC pushed it through, but the PC could not. Is there a compatibility issue with the emails clients and the server? OR is there a setting some place else I should be checking?

Here are the results of several of the other tests:

(Please NOTE: The “Authenticate” button was checked throughout all of these tests.)

TEST ONE (PC- outlook 2003)
Settings:
Outgoing Port: 587
Incoming Port: 110

Tasks:
Find Outgoing mail server (SMTP) – COMPLETED
Find Incoming mail server (POP3) – COMPLETED
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3) – FAILED
Send Test e-mail message – FAILED

Errors:
Log onto incoming server (POP3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming mail server (POP3). The problem could be your SSL or port setting for the incoming server. Verify your port and SSL settings under More Settings on the Advanced tab.

Send test e-mail message: The Specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click the Advanced tab.

When trying to send an email:
Task ‘john test’ – 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).’

Eventually…after a couple of hours:
Outlook Send/Receive Progress said that 1 of 2 tasks completed successfully, but nothing seemed to come through to the intended emails.


TEST TWO (PC- outlook 2003)
Settings:
Outgoing Port: smtp.comcast.net
Incoming Port: 110

Tasks:
Find Outgoing mail server (SMTP) – COMPLETED
Find Incoming mail server (POP3) – COMPLETED
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3) – FAILED
Send Test e-mail message – FAILED

Errors:
Log onto incoming server (POP3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming mail server (POP3). The problem could be your SSL or port setting for the incoming server. Verify your port and SSL settings under More Settings on the Advanced tab.

Send test e-mail message: The Specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click the Advanced tab.

TEST THREE (PC- outlook 2003)
Settings:
Outgoing Port: (client ip address)
Incoming Port: 110

Tasks:
Find Outgoing mail server (SMTP) – COMPLETED
Find Incoming mail server (POP3) – COMPLETED
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3) – FAILED
Send Test e-mail message – COMPLETED

Errors:
Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming mail server (POP3). The problem could be your SSL or port settings for the incoming server. Verify your port and SSL settings under More Settings on the Advanced tab.

When trying to send an email:
Your Message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

‘client@example.com’ on 12/8/2010 3:11PM
533 sorry, that domain isn’t in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)

TEST FOUR (MAC –Mail 3.6)
Settings:
Outgoing Port: 587
Incoming Port: 110

When trying to send an email:
When we sent an email and then it eventually sent in about 10 minutes.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be very appreciated. We’re at our wits end trying to figure this out. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions.
