Now apparently we are getting a failed mail msg.
Does this describe your problems that were solved with the patch?
Thanx,

The patch consists of using port 587 instead on 25 for outgoing mail. As if this morning, I have been blocked by Comcast for sending SPAM. Actually I was sending out the Woodworkers Meeting note. I got an email from the Comcast Security Assurance to apply the patch which is nothing more than setting up a new Outlook Express email account with 587 as the outgoing port.
I sent a note to Comcast and they had me call the 800 number. They wanted to switch me to port 587. I told her I have been using 587 for months now. Now I have to call Comcast Security Assurance (on a Saturday!!) to get back online.
Fortunately I have a villages.net account I can use until I am back in service.
Still waiting to hear from the special agent.
