Windows mail

[vetnurse480]

Can not send emails from Windows mail. Had no problem a few weeks ago. Have
contacted ATT (provider to see if they could help three time) Here is message
I keep getting:

Subject 'Fw: Fw: [thrombocytopenia] Surprise, surprise', Account:
'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '250 8BITMIME', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 250,
Error Number: 0x800CCC7D
--
Can any one help?

Do you get the error when sending all messages or just that one? (If just
that one, try Forwarding the message as an attachment instead.)

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Is your anti-virus application configured to scan outgoing (and incoming)
mail?

Any chance the third-party firewall and the Windows Firewall are both
enabled?

Did ATT tell you that SSL should be enabled and Port 25 used with SSL
enabled? (NB: Don't confuse the SSL option with the "My outgoing server
requires authentication" option.) See

If still no joy, see posts in this related thread (even if you don't have
OneCare installed):

Wrong port number. Change port 25 to port 465.
