Outlook 2000 SMTP - cannot send emails

[paul forde]

Using Outlook 2000 SR-1 and Win98 SE. I receive email messages just fine.
When I create a message it goes into the send items folder and acts as if it
is sent. However, no email is actually sent or error message generated.

I have watched the logs on my SMTP server and see Outlook did not even
attempt to connect to the SMTP server. But, from the computer I can telnet
into my SMTP server. So, Outlook should be able to see the SMTP server and
connect to it.

I have turned on the Outlook logs and see no sending activity or error
messages on the SMTP side, just the inbound pop activity.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook, as well as deleted and recreated
the service information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Paul

Forgot one thing, the SMTP server does NOT require authentication.

Does anyone else on your network have the same problem? Can you send
something via OE?
