cannot send emails windows live mail

Hi, been having problems with windows live mail keep receiving this-
The host 'smpt.arrakis.es' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.

Subject 'testing'
Server: 'smpt.arrakis.es'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 11004

Checked with my server everything is set up correctly. Although he did change Port. 25 to 587. I am receiving emails ok. We have installed Avast free as internet security. This problem has occured after we re-installed Windows 7 as recovery due to a crash. Have spent hours browsing internet for answers so far nothing seems to work. Any suggestions will be greatly apprieciated.

Sorry just did! I am a bit slow, I checked the ports for Avast and the number for outgoing is 25,587. Tried it with 587, didn't work.

you have smPT instead of smTP, you have the last 2 letters transposed.

Hi Thank you so much feel like an idiot. You were right pt not tp.
