Ashraf,

Exactly what it says, we weren't able to connect to your SMTP server. Have you specified a route for messages coming from the brightmail gateway or are you using the non-local route?

Try going through this process to manually specify your mail server for the Control Center to route the messages to:

1. In the appliance web interface, click on Administration
2. Under Settings, choose Control Center
3. Under SMTP host, choose Define New Host
4. In the field, provide your mail server's IP address and correct port number, if no 25
5. Save the settings

Once you go through these steps, try releasing the message again.
