    Resolved SMTP Error @ Startup. Can't Send Any E-mail [RESOLVED]

    For a few weeks I've been getting the error below in my event viewer. Ever since, I can not send e-mail. Receiving works fine. I've tried using several different accounts to send e-mail most of which use different outgoing smtp servers. As near as I can tell, the problem stems from this error. Any assistance would be appreciated:

    Code:
    Event Type:	Error
    Event Source:	Service Control Manager
    Event Category:	None
    Event ID:	7023
    Date:		2/27/2006
    Time:		5:47:27 PM
    User:		N/A
    Computer:	WMAIN
    Description:
    The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service terminated with the following error: 
    The specified module could not be found.

    Who is your ISP...AOL?

    I had a similar problem with AOL, they made changes to fight SPAM

    I had to change my SMTP from:

    smtp.mywebbsite.com

    To:

    smtp.aol.com

    As well I had to change the SMTP port to 587

    Hope this helps.

    As Matt has indicated, I would contact my internal support department if this is happening at work, or my ISP if it is happening at home.

    Cox is my ISP, they were unable to provide an answer. They too believe it was a system issue and not a setting or connection issue.

    Resolved. I wiped my wireless router settings and reset it back up again because i found out if i connected directly through cable modem it worked. Odd issue but that fixed the e-mail issue. Still get the error but apparently it was just a coincidence.
