At least the people from India who aren’t at all helpful are at least polite, which is better than then non-helpful knobs with attitude you get stateside.

Thanks for this entry, at least I know I can quit trying to blow away and recreate my outgoing mail profile in a vain attempt to get it working again. grr.

Bell south tech support was highly amusing by telling me

1) Outlook only supports 1 email account
2) We have never allowed people to send email from any email address other then a bellsouth one
3) You must have a virus.

I eventually found this through a search

bellsouth blocks port 25

and started using the bellsouth outgoing server for all mail.

There is another port for mail they let go through. I have it configured at home it is either 576 or 596. I think the first one.

One day our email at work just stops working. A message was sent to our main cox email address but no one checks it so we didn’t know. Yeah, I think it is mainly anti-spambot releated.
