OS windows 7 --upgraded to Outlook for email--when I try to send an email whose address is located in a website for a government entity I get the following: The host MSN could not be found. Please verify the spelling.

Subject-Test

Server- MSN

Windows Live mail error-0X800CCC0D

Protocol-SMTP

Port-25

Secure SSL-no

socket error-11004

Details stated that 26 attempts using (MSN hot mail) failed.

I have no troubles sending emails with Hotmail live, gmail, aol, nor outlook.
