WinSock Error = 11004

[Djordje Radovanovic]

I am trying to send mail from app for the first time.
When I got an error it was expected and than I read documentation and most of messages on this forum but I did not find solution.

I am constantly receiving an error:
The requested connection could not be opened. The Open command timed out or failed to connect.

The error number was -53 which means Open Timeout or Failure error - [WinSock Error = 11004 : (WSANO_DATA) Valid name, no data record or requested type. The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for.].

Error occurred in function NetSimple.TakeEvent

Where did I go wrong?

Best regards,

Djordje Radovanovic

WSANO_DATA
11004

   

Valid name, no data record of requested type.

    The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record—indicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.

Richard is right.

Check carefully the "address" for the server that you are using. sounds like that is wrong.

Many times changed from smpt.something.com to smpt.otherthing.com but never changed smpt. to smtp. 

Thanks.

Attached is a code example to lookup the MX records so you can talk direct to the email server responsible for the email address's domain name you are trying to send to. It can help avoid those problems plus you dont get restricted or held up by your ISP's SMTP server which in one customers case can be slow delivering the emails like upto an hour is their record, not good when customers are on the phone waiting for quotes to give the go ahead for an order.
