This looks like a configuration error and has nothing to do with if it
is 32 or 64-bit.  Recheck that your SMTP login name and password is
right and the type authorizing method it uses . For all the different
ISP i had used i have never had to specify a login for the SMTP
server. Are you sure you need a login for your SMTP?
