Gary,
I have installed Avast on my home desk top and unistalled McAffee and I am
still having the problem using MS Mail and Outlook. The MS Mail error
message is:
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 'candXXXXkites@yahoo.com'. Subject 'Re:
test', Account: 'mail.candXXXXkites.com', Server: 'mail.candXXXXkites.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 not local host yahoo.com, not a
gateway', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number:
0x800CCC79
My email goes through my websites server and not comcast.
any ideas?
thanks
