Problems Sending Email,,, Corrupt Windows Component?

Greetings:

I'm running XP SP2 on a desktop and laptop on an ad-hoc (peer to peer)
network. Neither computer

will send email using Outlook 2003 or Outlook Express, but can receive email
fine. YES, all the

config settings are correct. Neither computer will connect to the SMTP
using the Telnet command, nor

will they "bounce" email using MailWasher. NO, my ISP is NOT blocking port
25.

I've scanned both for viruses and adware and found nothing. I've switched
off all antivirus and

firewalls and still can't send email.

I've configured a buddy's laptop to connect through same ISP and use Outlook
Express and it WILL send

email AND connect to the SMTP using Telnet.

What gives? I'm suspecting a damaged Windows component, but I've tried
"c:sfc /now" on both

computers and it didn't find anything. I've run out of tricks. Can anyone
offer some assistance?

I've included a section of an Outlook 2003 log file below.

Thanks,

Brian

No, all the config settings are not correct or you would be able to send
email. The most common cause for this error is that you have smtp set
to require authorization from the ISP where none is needed or you have
smtp set to *not* require authorization where one *is* needed. So open
up the configs for smtp again and whatever you have in that area, do
the opposite and see if that works.


Neither computer will connect to the

This is completely normal. Very few ISPs will allow the telnet service
to run on their machines.


will they "bounce" email using MailWasher. NO, my ISP is NOT blocking
port 25.

I've scanned both for viruses and adware and found nothing. I've
switched off all antivirus and firewalls and still can't send email.

Very unlikely that this is anything but an authentication problem.

Well, a call to my web site's tech support confirmed that my account does
require authentication to the SMTP and that I've got everything properly
configured, however, I can not send email with authentication either on or
off. I'm certain my ISP is not blocking port 25 because I've had several
conversations with their tech support.

Interestingly, I was able to configure a buddy's laptop to send email using
Outlook Express and my ISP. This tells me something is incorrect on my
specific computer.

Any other ideas?

Thanks a bunch,

Brian

Try creating a new Identity.
If that works, import your mail from the old Identity.
