Can someone please tell me how to get the SMTP in the Hosting Admin to work (Hosted on Godaddy). I have tried everything, and nothing seems to works.

I get the following error when tested with smtpout.secureserver.net:

"There has been an error trying to send the test email. The error is:
Failure sending mail. Unable to connect to the remote server"

And the Event Viewer has a General Exception with the following error:

"Message: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection..."

Does anyone have the answer? It errors on port 25 when I tried to telnet, and I know Godaddy uses a different port, is there a way to ad the the port number in the SMTP setting under Host?  PLEASE HELP.

Sure ... something like this:  smtp.googlemail.com:587

The port follows the colon after the smtp server name.
