Outlook Send fail - error 0x80070057

This just started. I cannot send mail. I get error:

Task 'John (Comcast) - Sending' reported error (0x80070057) : 'Could not
complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid.'

I repaired the account to comcast and all is OK. I have all my outgoing
eMails in the outbox.

I googled and it said registry problem a so I cleaned with registry mechanic
to no avail.

What is the error and how can I unclog my outbox?

Your outgoing Port is probably set at 25 when it should be set to 587. Change it and
then try sending. Let us know

Folks,

This is a curious one. Ports were set correct. To make it work I had to
change the password and reconnect. WHen taht worked, I reset the password
back and it took. Now it is working. It must have been a Comcast server
issue.

I'm getting the same error message, but am not using Comcast. To make it more intriguing, other messages ARE going out, even those sent after the one message in error, but that message won't go. Any other ideas?
