That is the whole error message...and thank you for the advice...


According to poster Alan, in 'microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general',
Comcast has recently changed their SMTP message submission port. Knowing
that they had long allowed access through port 25, and only blocked
outbound
port 25 under special circumstances, I had to go and check the Comcast
FAQ.
Apparently, they now *require* SMTP message submission access through port
587:

You can also look at this link for how to set up MSOE with a different
port:
