AOL blocking port 25

[Guest]

AOL is now blocking port 25. I can receive emails on my POP3 Outlook Express
6.0 but, I can't send an email. I have tried port 2500 and 587 and 26 but, I
get the same results. I am not trying to send/receive from an AOL email
account but, to/from another server..... ie... a bands website. The email
account I receive under is from my bands website... I just can't send through
the same because of the block from AOL.

Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to check with whomever runs the SMTP server for the bands
website to see if they allow connectivity on an alternative port like 587 or
465.
