ATT/Yahoo isp has blocked port 25 and you must now connect using ssl. This includes several isp like sbcglobal, and several others..

And there may be others. To fix, go to each account, from the TOOLS link in the navbar of outlook or outlook express, click on properties, then advanced, on the smtp or (outgoing) click the requires ssl, then change the port to 465.. IN THAT ORDER, or it will revert to port 25, then click apply at the bottom, and now all your outgoing mail will work! DO NOT CHANGE any of the original settings on the first tabs, just the advanced tab.

This should save a few computers from being thrown out the window!

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

I believe this affects anyone who uses Yahoo mail in conjunction with an isp or paid service...just for the record. That could include alot of people being affected.
