ok, here we go, email was working great until late last night. is something going on with Windows. here is the message i am getting just trying to send a message with nothing attached

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 '[email protected] '. Subject 'Merry Christmas', Account: 'pop-server.hot.rr.com', Server: 'smtp-server.hot.rr.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 5.5.2 RCPT TO syntax error', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

" The authentication setting might not be correct "
Please check if " My server requires authentication " is checked .
