I am trying a mail merge from MS Word 2003. I am importing a list of
addresses from an excel spreadsheet. However when I am trying to send the
message it tries to send via my Outlook Express(though my default mail client
is MS Outlook) and comes up with the following error :

"The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D"

I then tried to mail merge through my MS Outlook 2003 and its doing the same
thing. All these messages are sitting in my Outlook Express outbox.
