Default server response 554 0x800ccc6f

I suggested she try running System Restore.
Problem solved.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.

A friend has suddenly lost the ability send email. The OS is XP and OE6

The gist of the error message follows:
smtp.comcast,net propotcol:smtp, server response 554 ....port:587,secure
ssl: no,server error:554, error number:0x800ccc6f

Comcast has walked the user through the setup for email and it agrees
with my own setup.

System was rebooted with no change.

What now?
