I have an ASP.NET application in which part of the business process is to instantiate a MailMessage object and send a mail message via an SMTP server. This all works properly for the most part.

However, once in a while, intermittently, my error log indicates I get the error:

Could not access 'CDO.Message' object

Since this happens only once in a while, I suspect that it is either network connectivity related or possibly the SMTP Server itslef is not responding for some reason.

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior and knows the various causes/cures if any?

Thanks,
Bill
