I have Microsoft Office Outlook and am getting the same error 0x80042109. I have changed my outgoing server to 587 from 50, but I still can send or receive messages. Help!
Those were my original settings, I believe (not 50--my mistake). I have put them back to their original settings (I only changed the outgoing port), but it still isn't working. Any suggestions?the default outgoing port is 25 not 50. may be you need try using SMTP outgoing post to 25
Default Incoming Port : 110
Default Outgoing Port : 25
$ping mail.servername.com
$telnet mail.servername.com 25
0x80042109, this error means outlook was not able to connect to the server,
trying pinging the server to check if it pings
Code:$ping mail.servername.com
and also check if you are able to connect to the server using telnet
Code:$telnet mail.servername.com 25
Your talking to real dummy here -- how do I try "pinging". I did a "test" and apparently I can send but not receive. I checked my CoxWebmail and got it through that.
ping mail.server.com
This is what is said:
Ping request could not find host mail.server.com Please check the name and try again
ping mail. YourDomain.(com/net/org/etc...)
You have to replace mail.server.com to mail.{Your Server Name}.{Extention}
Code:ping mail. YourDomain.(com/net/org/etc...)
So if my e-mail address is [email protected], would I type in ping mail.cox.net ???
ping mail.cox.net

I'm using the email I created through direct admin.
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean when you say DirectAdmin.
