Actually I didn't think changing OE would affect the problem since both Z and I had the same results whether we were sending via Outlook Express or webmail, i.e., logging directly onto the Comcast mail system and sending from there, bypassing OE. I'm just real confused.

Muncle - when you go to port 587 you have to check the Server need Authentication box. It should be checked anyway but it is definitely necessary with port 587.
And yes I agree that it would not solve our problem.
But an FYI. 587 is more secure and if you have certain problems, the first thing the tech will tell you is to switch to port 587.
Do a google search for more info.
