Hi everyone - without changing any configuration, I've suddenly started to receive many PEAR errors when trying single contact emails, using CiviMail, and registering for an event through CiviEvent. Here is the error, which is the same for all failures:

Error Details:


Array
(
    [callback] => Array
        (
            [0] => CRM_Core_Error
            [1] => handle
        )

    [code] =>
    [message] => Invalid response code received from server
    [mode] => 16
    [debug_info] =>
    [type] => PEAR_Error
    [user_info] =>
    [to_string] => [pear_error: message="Invalid response code received from server" code=0 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=""]
)

There may be more features that bring about this error, but the three above are what I've run into so far.  I've confirmed with my hosting/email service and ISP that the problem is not on there side.  I have no idea what went wrong, can anyone give a hand?  My site's most important features are essentially broken.  I am running CiviCRM 1.7. [/code]

I've checked again with both my host, and there is no problem there.  Even then, why would this cause the registering for a CiviEvent to fail? 
Could it be something else, maybe a database problem?  Would biting the bullet and upgrading fix this?

Truly stumped, not sure how to implement Lobo's debug suggestion.  I'm now sure that I've got the right settings for my SMTP server, as they send and receive just fine in Outlook.  When I try the same settings in my previously functional CiviCRM 1.7 site, I get the following when trying to send a test message in CiviMail :
Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

    * The test mailing could not be delivered due to the following error:
      Failed to connect to smtpout.secureserver.net:3535 [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: -1, response: )]

The same settings in a brand new installation of CiviCRM 2.04 give essentially the same error.  I just want to see my org's website work again; do I get a new SMTP service?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Again, the SMTP username/password settings are not the problem.

thx lobo - i'd be happy to get on gtalk, could you send an invite again?  don't see the last one.
