The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'b', Account:
'mail.bostonerotic.com (1)', Server: 'mail.bostonerotic.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 26, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

my smpt is 26, tried 25 and keeps bouncing back, it was fine last week now I
send mail and goes right to the out box than a server error.
 
Bostonerotic.com is not your ISP. As such, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25/26 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

To send from home, you will have to substitute your home ISP's
SMTP server. If you need help with that, let us know who your
home ISP is.
 
Which would be a big problem for the OP because AOL will not
allow him to change the From address to a non-AOL address.
One workaround is to open a Gmail account.
