Winxp.Comcast,No outgoing messages

[Ritter197]

I can get messages in Outlook Express and for that matter also in
Outlook2000, but I cannot Send messages.

I talked to Comcast and they found no error on the account setup.

BTW I have also used Comcast hi speed internet for years and have both used
OE and Outlook 2000.

Now when I try to send I get this:

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'versuch', Account:
'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0B

I have looked in the Knowledgebase of Microsoft and still have the problem.

I use Windows xp. SP2, all updates, XP Firewall, and NOD32 Virus checker.
All of these I have used for months before without the slightest trouble.

Even disabling the Firewall and Virus checker (hated to try it even) did not
solve Outgoing messages.

Internet is OK, Newsgroups too.

my Netscape say port 110


Comcast is also slow at Sending e-mails tonight
Just there Mail servers.. GigaNews is Fast..

I think I read somewhere that Comcast is installing virus Checking and
spam filters also..

There are also Checking outgoing e-mails for TOO MANY RECIPIEnts..
They got a SECRET limit

Not sure if it will work , might want to try it.
There is no use Disabling the firewall .U might want to goto the programs
listi n the firewall and give access to outlook manually.

Firewall is enabled to give access to Outlook Express and Outlook

Thank you very much.

I had earlier looked at some or rather many of these sites, but I still
cannot get it to work,

I get this message in Outlook 2000:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: weeewewewewerrtrtrtgcvbcv

Sent: 31/12/2004 08:50

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

Karolus des Reyches 197 (E-mail) on 31/12/2004 08:51

No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient.





BUT - when I use Comacst own Mail ( which I do not like) it does send and
does receive. So, when I call Comcast, they say it is not their fault.

The strange thing is that for months, all worked fine.

Still puzzled.

That was an important detail. Your e-mail address was hijacked by a spammer.
The spammer is using your address as the return address instead of the
spammer's return address. It's not necessarily your fault. There are two
ways this could happen:

1. Your computer has a virus that allows the spammer to use your computer to
send out spam.

2. The spammer gleaned your address in one of many ways: through a web site
where you signed up, through the 'CC:' on a group e-mail, or from a rogue
e-mail that you were tricked into opening.

If the problem becomes widespread, you'll want to get a new email address.

And you know this how? Source please? What's the limit?

You can't say something like this and not expect to have to give some
answers. Otherwise we all know you are just talking out of your ass.

Most ISPs permit a max of 50 addressees for one (1) email message, NM. Some
use 25.
