this is the entire error message:

That's a server error and your Outlook has nothing to do with it. You can't
fix it. Only the manager of the failing server can.

Thank you Brian:
I have spoken to about 8 different techs at comcast. They tell me that the
problem will be forwarded to their next "tier" of people for clarification
and the problem should be resolved withing 72 hours. this has been over 6
weeks now.
How can I impress the fact that it is their server problem? is there
anything i should tell them?
an changing my email address rectify the problem?
