SMPT error messages in metwork settings

The 'SMTP server' address entered in the 'Web | Network Setup' is incorrect, or not a valid SMTP server.
Possible Solutions:
1) Try "localhost" as the "SMTP Server"
2) Check the "SMTP Server" host name, user name and password with your server host, then correct the details in 'Web | Network Setup'
3) Check your firewall settings

I'd like to see 4) added

words `to the effect - check the email address in business settings is valid, depending on your host this may need to be a valid address within the domain

Good idea Jo - thanks for the suggestion. I'll get this added in a maintenance release, Messages like this are really easy for us to fix.

We got the support team to review all the most common ones for v9 to try and make them more informative - but there's always room for improvement.
