What does smtp error mean?

Question

I am using outlook express to send emails (it is not with yahoo) Every time i try to send an email this message pops up : "An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Louis', Server: 'smtp.suddenlink.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 208.180.40.68 (208.180.40.68:25), connect error 10060', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67"
what does this mean?

Answer 1
