Yes - several times.

All set to authenticate. I didn't change the port settings on either this computer or the one that hasn't been used for several months.

Checking the port settings verse the Outlook and newly installed Thunderbird: Thunderbird did not install on the default smtp port setting. So I changed the Outlook to match the Thunderbird port. Outlook worked.

So this brings up the next question - why now, why suddenly is the default port not working. I changed nothing. And it surely does not make since that a computer that hasn't been used in three months would be affected with the same deal.

As I'm typing this I'm wondering if my IP made changes last night. Currently using Fios. When I used Cox Cable, all outgoing mail had to go through their mail server and not mine - but still used the default port of 25. Under Fios though all mail goes through my servers.

Still thinking WTF??
