The error is 2147746321.

I can see in the mailserver log that it tries, but the connection gets closed.

Googling does not reveal much except that it indeed "doesn't work" and Exchange pops up all over the place.

This is no Exchange server. I just want a plain and straight SMTP connection to work. How?

(I have tried running the task as normal user and as system account, no difference.)
