Directly from www.sockets.com:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WSANO_DATA (11004) Valid name, no data record of requested type 

Berkeley description: The requested name is valid, but does not have an
Internet IP address at the name server. This is not a temporary error.
This means another type of request to the name server will result in an
answer. 

WinSock description: Same as Berkeley for host resolution. For protocol
and services resolution, the name or number was
not found in the respective database. 

User suggestions: see WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND for details. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Synopsis: either you are sending to a non-existant host, or you are using
an existing host as an SMTP that is not set up to process mail. (IE using
gorn.indy.net instead of mail.indy.net as my SMTP would result in a 11004
(I think) even though gorn is an existing machine.
