said by scooper:They do - you have to tell your email client that said authentication is required.
I had authentication turned on.
said by gh4456:The SMTP service is not blocked. I checked with the project managers over the development. Apparently whatever network you are on maybe blocking outgoing mail server port 25.
I was logged on to PeoplePc. It rejected access/authentication every time. I can't say for sure whether they are blocking port 25.
Here's the Outlook error:
Sending reported error (0x80042109): 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
I may be premature in blaming Embarq. According to Microsoft KB302357, this error has to do with a network blocking access to other smtp servers that are not on their network. I guess PeoplePc may be blocking access. I will have try again on another ISP.
Thanks for checking with the developers.....
