Hey, I’m trying to setup my web domain mail on my Outlook Express. It’s a POP3 account, I configured it right so that it receives mail fine, but outgoing mail from the server screws up and gives me error messages: The connection to the server has failed. Account: ‘Asian Illusion’, Server: ‘[mail.asianillusion.com](http://mail.asianillusion.com)’, Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E I’ve tried to configure the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail to [asianillusion.com](http://asianillusion.com), but same problem ---

If you’re using Outlook Express, go to Tools/Accounts and select your email account. The click Properties/Servers. At the bottom of that tab, you will see a checkbox labeled “My Server requires Authentication.” Check it. You can check the settings if you like, but the default setting is to use the same login info as you incoming mail server. that’s normally going to be correct. Should work now. As an aside, there are huge security flaws in smtp, so sometimes that service is cutoff or blocked. ---
