     Another thing that could cause such a problem is an outdated entry
in a 'hosts' file.  This is something I have experienced.  Your ISP
changes the IP address for their SMTP server and now you can't connect.
 If you're using a 'hosts' file entry for the SMTP server I'd suggest
running 'nslookup' and checking the result against what's entered in
the 'hosts' file.
