Any know of problems sending email via SMTP? I tested it last
night--everytrhing OK---just tried now (7PM NY time) and get this error
message (note I kept check in box under server tab for 'My server requires
authentication' and have SSL checked for incoming and outgoing on 'advanced
tab':

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'MSN Mail', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"

That's relatively obvious since all other mail is http not pop3. Http didn't use SPA, only one server and because of that no authentication option.
