A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time
When trying to send an email I'm getting this error. What does it mean? Thanks.
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 216.34.131.135:25

It means that a connection could not be established to the host at 216.34.131.135 on port 25
I have tried to connect to that host, and it is not accepting mail on port 25
The simple way to test this is go to the command prompt and type:
telnet 216.34.131.135 25
this will try and connect to that host on port 25. If the host is capable of accepting mail on that port, you will get a blank screen.
It might worth using tools like those at dnsstuff.com or centralops.net to debug mail problems.
Hope this helps,
James.
