Change that port 25 to port 587.

remember password, then check the box that says my server requires
authentication, next click on settings button, click on dot that says
log on using
e-mail username: type only your charter username example (charles_morrow)
Note: Do not use the @ symbol example([email protected]) is wrong,

right right!!!!
password: your chater password (*******) next check the remember my password
box, click ok and send your mail. this works in outlook too same process, i
have set up mail.qwestoffice.net = smtp.charter.net and
mail.holmespropertymanagement.com = smtp.charter.net and mail.cloudnet.com =
smtp.charter.net these all work fine it took alot of digging and trial and
error frustration from no tech support, so enjoy this 421 easy error repair.
