The host 'smtp' could not be found.

Question

I am getting the following error while sending mail by click of a button in MS access form

I am using sendObject to send mail using vba code.

The host 'smtp' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop3', Server: 'smtp', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Points to note:

• I am able to send and receive mails in my outlook; Problem is only when send mails through VBA access application.(Means it is not a outlook client configuration problem)

• When i copy paste the Vba application to another PC, i could successfully send emails without any error. (means this is not a vba access application problem)

Please help.

Answer 1

Either the SMTP server "smtp" is available from your second machine and not the first, or else there is some change to the mail settings and/or security when moving between the two machines.

Is your SMTP server actually called 'smtp'?
