Your DNS server(s) are not responding. Verify that they are real DNS servers, and that you can get to them. HTH

Thanks Matt, I don't think this is DNS server problem ... I'm using My ISP's DNS server ... I can browse the net, send email using outlook, web-mail, everything is fine .. If i use the build-in Tools > Alternate Delivery> Relay Service .... it is working ... but with this option I can send 4KB or less only which I don't want to ... any ideas ...?

Have you listed your ISP's DNS servers in the application settings? Use NSLOOKUP using each of those servers to resolve a query and make sure that they are responding properly. You may need to increase the DNS timeout value if they are slow to respond.

OK. When I use NSLOOKUP, and set my DNS server to 202.188.1.5, it times out when I do a query. The 208.67.222.222 does answer quickly though. I suspect that your argo is trying to use the 202.188.1.5 server, which is mis-behaving. HTH

OK... let's take a step back..... Has this ever worked? If so, what has changed? Does this work to send to ANY domain, other than gmail, yahoo??(in other words, is it ALL domains, or only gmail and yahoo)?

open a command prompt on that machine... Type "nslookup" and hit enter. Then type "server 208.67.222.222" and hit enter.. then type "gmail.com"(or any other domain name) and hit enter. If it comes back with the address of the domain then the DNS server is working. It still sounds like the DNS server(s) are not replying to your query in an appropriate amount of time. If it replies "timed out" then you are not able to get to that DNS server. Is this argo server on a separate box, or on your desktop/laptop?

You can also click on the little checkmark next to where you configure your DNS server(s) to have argo check the server(s), and tell you what it found. It may find valid DNS servers, and ask if you want to use those....

OK... click on the check mark next to where you specify dns servers in argo. Let it check those servers to see if they are good dns servers.... Do you have any kind of firewall or virus checking program on your system that may be blocking?
