The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Outlook 2003 displays error 0x80042109: '... unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server.'

Asked by topfloorcomputer in Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: , , ,

I'm runnning Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606) on five Windows 2000 Professional (5.0.2195 SP4) computers, each set up to use an off-site authenticated SMTP server and IMAP.  Two of the computers are now showing signs of the following error for all users, and are completely unable to send e-mail:

Task '<mailserver> - 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).'

We have Norton Anti-Virus 2004 installed, running, and fully updated on all machines.  There is an in-house network over 100MBit ethernet with these five workstations, one file/print server and domain controller running Windows 2003 SBS, one firewall/router, one standard router, and a DSL modem.  As only two of the workstations encounter this problem, the firewall/router is not blocking all port 25 requests (tested from other workstations and the server) - the afflicted workstations are unable to connect to any server on port 25 (SMTP), however.

I have disabled NAV to no great effect, and the mail server settings are identical to the other workstations.  The key to this is the fact that outgoing connections on port 25 (SMTP) are blocked on these workstations.  How, I do not know, but if I can re-enable outgoing port 25 connections, I believe the problem will be fixed.

This must be resolved ASAP, thus the difficulty rating.  Thank you, in advance, for any help.
