MS Outlook would not send mail

Hi. I have configured my email account on MS outlook; can receive mails but can not send; it says : OUTLOOK CAN NOT CONNECT TO THE OUTGOING MAIL SERVER (SMTP). PLEASE CONTACT ....

Any help and/or guidance will be appreciated !

What is your outgoing smtp port? Is your isp blocking it?

Smtp

SMTP = 25 ; is this what you are asking me ?

I am using two other different servers for email, have no problems with them, so I do not believe my ISP would be blocking the server. Thanks. Milan

PLEASE CONTACT

Please contact whom?

If you post your outgoing mailserver name one of us can do some checking for you. You will probably need to use port 587 to relay email (send email to hosts other than your server). DirectAdmin is fairly well blocked against relaying through port 25. So you might as well check to see if you can send using plain-text authentication on port 587.

Is the server yours?

If so:

Which exim.conf file are you using (you can post the first ten lines if you're not sure)? Have you changed it in any way? Have you checked your firewall?

If not:

You'll need to contact your hosting provider.
