It's *very* easy to make a mistake and the slightest error will prevent you
from sending.
Now… it could also be that your ISP began blocking the SMTP port for outside
servers as I was mentioning.

Sending and receiving messages is done through different servers. You could be
fine receiving e-mails with an SMTP server completely down.

Yeah, not really actually.

It's for a very different issue with Exchange accounts.

This error message is typical of Firewall issues. It also sometimes affects
iTunes (it's a very generic networking error message).
You might need to change the SMTP port to avoid port 25. You'll need to inquire
to find out what other ports your server supports.
gMail uses port 587:

If you setup the smtp as described on the gMail support page, can you send
e-mails through your gMail account?
