email won't allow me to send an attached zip file

My Windows mail will send an email message w/o attachments with no problem,
but not with attachments. I tried to increase the timeout to 5mins maxium and
I still receive this error...

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'tnb doors inc -shop pics', Account: 'mail.comcast.net',
Server: 'SMTP.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error

Comcast made some changes in their email settings. Follow these steps:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ...s.ashx?Id=2288

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
