Try using the SMTP server name from your ISP (home) account, in your Work
Account?

Tools>accounts>your account>properties>server tab, copy the server name and
paste it into the work account?

If you're trying to send the mail from outside the company, some internet
provider along the path to that server is likely to be blocking connections
to port 25 that don't go to their own outgoing email server, as a method
to cause problems for spammers. In this case, you should either use the
SMTP server of your internet provider, or ask arguscorp.net if their
outgoing mail server listens for outgoing mail on any port other than
port 25, and if so, where to find the instructions for switching to the
other
port. Just trying all the ports is a very slow way to find out, since there
are about 65,000 ports available.

Yes, we've been advising Comcast users for several weeks already
about the change from port 25 to port 587. It is a travesty that
Comcast did not inform its customers about this change.

Same problem...Changed the port to 587 and changed outgoing server to
mail.comcast.net instead of smtp.comcast.net...

Same problem as who?

Do you think that we are mind readers?
