What's the verbatim error message you get when you try?

======
An error occurred when NewsWatcher tried
to send a command to your mail server.

NewsWatcher sent the following command:
DATA

The server sent the following response:
451 timeout (#4.4.2)

Server errors sometimes mean that you
did something wrong. For example, if you
type a password incorrectly, you get a
server error message.
======

I have double checked the user id and pwd several time

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean MTNW cannot contact the
server. From RFC 821:

" Once the transmission channel is established, the SMTP-sender sends a
MAIL command indicating the sender of the mail. If the SMTP-receiver
can accept mail it responds with an OK reply. The SMTP-sender then
sends a RCPT command identifying a recipient of the mail. If the
SMTP-receiver can accept mail for that recipient it responds with an
OK reply; if not, it responds with a reply rejecting that recipient
(but not the whole mail transaction). The SMTP-sender and
SMTP-receiver may negotiate several recipients. When the recipients
have been negotiated the SMTP-sender sends the mail data, terminating
with a special sequence. If the SMTP-receiver successfully processes
the mail data it responds with an OK reply. The dialog is purposely
lock-step, one-at-a-time."

So this seems to indicate the connection to the server was already
established, and then, for whatever reason, the server stopped
responding to MTNW after MTNW sent the DATA command.
