problem with sending emails from my club site - Parkville 300 in Maryland

When I complete the email and hit send, I get an error message:

The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'Parkville Club Contest - March 6, 2014 - Come and bring a friend!', Account: 'IMAP', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

I'm not sure what to do from here. I have my original email to members and some test emails in draft waiting to be sent, but I can't see them. It just says it "failed" to send.

What email address are you sending to?

Is your email client setup on your PC or do you use a web based email like gmail or yahoo mail or hot mail?

I'm sending the message to the members that are listed on the website, but it will have my email listed as well which is a gmail address. I wish I had a better answer, but I am not that computer literate.

YOu need to copy and paste the email address your sending To: into your gmail and use gmail to send the email.

O.K. I'll get someone else to send it from the website, until I can get another officer to show me on my computer. Thanks for your help.
