I'd normally say clicking the link had nothing to do with it, but maybe the

Does your ISP support using alternate ports to send? If so, try using it -
587 is most commonly used.
What authentication setting do you use? Tools, Account settings, double
click the account and click more settings, outgoing server tab.
