Mac OS X 10.5: Can receive email, but not send email

This article discusses some issues you may encounter when sending email via Mail in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Issue 1 When trying to send email messages in Mail, an alert similar to this may appear: "Cannot send message using the server example SMTP The server 'smtp.example.com' cannot be contacted on port 25. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered." Issue 2 The Send button may be dimmed ("grayed out") in Mail messages, preventing you from sending any message.
