I believe Socket Error: 10060 is related to a server timeout. Try disabling
your email virus scan, and try again. Depending upon your AV application,you
may have to uninstall it, and reinstall it using a "Custom Install" option,
where you can select to install the AV application *without* the email
scanning option.

You need to talk to your ISP and set it to their mail server, port,
authentication. Most ISP's block SMTP on port 25 to servers other than their
own. If you need to go to someone else's server on port 25 you will have to
get your ISP to unblock it.

It would have helped if you had included the whole error message
including the server name. Telling us it is NOT smtp.domain.com tells
us nothing of value.

The error message you are getting is typical when you try to access any
SMTP mail server other than the one of the Internet service that you are
currently connected via.

Many ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via
them. (They block TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.)
Some of these ISPs will make exceptions if you present a compelling
reason to do this. The error messages may indicate network is
unreachable, access denied, or timeout errors (socket errors 10051,
10061 and 10060.) Another workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail
server of the service that you connect via, but leave your other
settings the same. In some cases you can use Port 587 or 465 rather
than port 25 (specify in OE/WLM at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Advanced). Your ISP is more likely to allow this port. The SMTP mail
server has to support this port. SMTP Authentication will likely be
required. In OE/WLM this is specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Servers, Outgoing Mail Server, My Server Requires
Authentication.
