[Andreag_77]

Hi,

But my server (win2003) have a static IP address and there isn't any network problem, someone can help me for this issue?

thanks
andrea

Just a guess, but can you lookup your own IP address? Perhaps the software knows the server name and is trying to its IP address from DNS or /etc/hosts.

from cmd:

do 'hostname' and then try nslookup with the name returned from hostname.

Also check the system properties and check the system name and its FQDN. try nslookup and ping on both of them.

It doesn't find smtp hostname address.

thanks
