can't send email

[CB]

I get the following message when trying to send email. I get the same
message for everyone in my address book. The addresses are all valid...


The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject 'Re: hey',
Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net (1)', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '551 not our customer', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,

Apparently AT&T is in the process of shutting down the older Bellsouth.net
mail servers. Use the newer AT&T/Yahoo mail servers and their advanced
settings. Start here:
