We have a small office network, 5 machines, we use outlook 2003, and
sbcglobal yahoo as an ISP and have an independant web host provider. We have
a domain name set up for e-mail. Some times - not all the time, and then not
very frequently we lose the ability to send mail. we receive an error code of
0x800CCC78 and this message "Task 'user name - Sending' reported error
(0x800CCC78) : 'Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail address
in your account properties. The server responded: 417 DNS lookup failure:
columbuscontrols.com. Try again later.'" This error does not happin on all
machines at the same time but stagers around the office for about a day, then
will not show up again for a week, or sometimes two or three days later.
Sometimes it will start on one machine amd migrate to the other five and all
five will be out for the remainder of the day. Sometimes it will only affect
one or two machines in the office and the other machines will work fine.
There is no obvious time of the day or of the week that this happins. Please
if any one has a suggestion I would be happy to try anything. AT&T says its a
web host provider problem, the web host provider said it was an AT&T problem,
everyone is pointing fingers and no one wants to help.
