Hi Harvey,
One possibility is that you misspelled SMTP. Since you use the same spelling
throughout your message, I can only assume that is what you tried. SMTP
stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol.
I can resolve smtp.mts.net (can't seem to ping it, but they may have that
blocked), but I can't even resolve smpt.mts.net.
If you have it entered correctly, you may need to check the box that tells
OE that your outgoing mail server requires authentication, most server
require this now so they can't be used as a relay for spammers.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Outlook Express and Smpt
My wife's computer using Outlook Express Windows 98 SE. I can't connect to
the SMPT server. I can connect to the POP server. I used Telnet with the
port 25 using smpt.mts.net and can't get a connection but if I use
pop.mts.net with port 110 I get a connection. I can connect to the internet
using a browser and using newsgroups using Outlook Express. Does this mean
something is corrupt? It connects using POP3 and DSL - PPPoE connection
through a high speed modem. I tried using the mail client Thunderbird but
this won't work either, it did bring everything over from Outlook Express.
I've checked all the passwords and user names on another computer and they
worked fine on another computer using Outlook Express. Should I go to the
bother of reinstalling Outlook Express this is my last resort.
