Server Port Configuration :
Outgoing Mail [SMTP] = 25
Incoming Mail [POP3] = 110
This is typically caused by a wrong username or password. When working with SMTP you should always “debug” the connection by trying if it works from the same computer, by using a “simpler” application such as Outlook Express or similar.
I’m saying that you should test - on the same computer as your run the BN application server - that you can send emails using SMTP.
The error you’re getting is common if you are using a wrong username and password to your SMTP. Some SMTP server requires you to use a username and password to send mails. So only requires it if you send to external hosts.
If you’re getting the same error msg in outlook express and in business notifications then you should start by debugging the error you’re getting in Outlook express.
