Either something's wrong on Comcast's end or they changed the settings
required for OE. You have company:

According to poster Alan, in 'microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general',
Comcast has recently changed their SMTP message submission port. Knowing
that they had long allowed access through port 25, and only blocked
outbound
port 25 under special circumstances, I had to go and check the Comcast
FAQ.
Apparently, they now *require* SMTP message submission access through port
587:

You can also look at this link for how to set up MSOE with a different
port:

We tried that and it didn't change anything...sigh...what could it be?
Comcast insists that it is not at their end...the account actually works
from
the Comcast.net mailbox, it just doesn't work from the Outlook
Express...that's why we were certain it was Outlook Express that could
help
us...What should we do?

Try a different approach? Your error message states, "The rejected email
was
blahblah@blahblah...". What was the email domain? I.e., my posting email
domain is, '. My ISP email domain is, '.
The
implication is that there is a list of email addresses. One, or the other
may be an issue. How many email addresses in the list (if more than one)?
You may also be up against a rate limit; which could be as low as 25 email
addresses per hour.

I'm not sure what is going on but now she says she can't use the webmail
either, so I'm thinking maybe the problem IS on the Comcast end...so we
called Comcast again and explained all the hoopla and they say they
finally
fixed it as it was definitely a problem with her mailbox recieving mail
and
not with sending so much, she was able to send an email from that account
to
that account and it sent successfully yet was not recieved, once it was
sent...they assured me that their technical team will have it fixed within
the next 72 hours...I hope this is true...we shall see...Thank you for all
your help...we really appreciate it...froggymomma & seanavy26
