CDO Message: The server response was not available

Hello,

The code below used to work flawlessly when sending email reminders. However, I recently added 2-step verification on my gmail account for
extra security and now I am getting the error below. Is their a work around?

Run-time error '-2147220975 (80040211)':

The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport
error code was 0x80040217. The server response was not available

Hello Orangeworker,

When sending email using authentication, the server listens on a different port. Change the port number to 465 and it will work.

Hi Leith,

Sorry for my delay...I have been swamped with work.

I have replaced "25" with "465" in this line of code:

However, I am still getting the same error.

Thanks.

Hello Orangeworker,

The only other issues that could effect you connecting through the secure port (465) would be a firewall or proxy server connection. If you have neither of these on your system then there might be a problem on the server side or with your SMTP account configuration.
