Answer 1

I am facing this issue last 6hr and I am new on that so I am trying to solve this issue in following way

1) I opened command prompt (e.g. Ctrl + R type cmd and enter).
2) And check to SMTP server ping and check response.
3) If it’s gets response then it’s ok and to move next step 4 other wise smtp name is wrong.
4) Then I check by telnet smtp port (e.g. 25 ) is open or not.
5) Using this cmd we check the SMTP response.
6) telnet "yoursmtpname" "portno” (e.g. telnet smtp.gmail.com 25)
7) If telnet is not working, please install or add from control panel in add new features.
8) If it’s working then it’s pass result like.
9) 220 mx.google.com ESMTP .

Using above steps we can find out smtp connection is ready or not to sending mail.
