The most common cause of the "connection terminated" error is a firewall on your computer that is misconfigured, or packet loss. If you are running a firewall, or an antivirus program that scans your email, try disabling it for a moment and check your mail again.

No. I am not a user of MSN Internet or MSN extra storage and I use Hotmail every day to send out and read email using Outlook Express. All you have to do is add a new account in Outlook Express and then enter your hotmail email name that you signed up for and then choose HTTP mail option.

A way to get around this problem is to use a free web mail account like hotmail (there are others as well) to SEND mail outbound instead of Comcast.

---

Well, I signed up for a hotmail account, but I guess you have to have either MSN Internet Service or MSN Extra Storage to be able to do what you suggested. They don't allow that with the free service anymore. Besides the Yahoo email, I also have a Juno email address. Would it work with that? If not, what are the "other" free email accounts that I could sign up for?

Great, I'll give it a try......thanks! Oh, BTW, any idea why AOL would block Comcast email?

---

Spammers sometimes hijack user(small businesses) email servers that are using Comcast as their ISP. Since the SPAM is sent out using comcast.net as the domain, some ISP's (AOL seems especially aggressive) then block all email from comcast.net. In my opinion, that is a drastic over reaction on their part, but they open things back up after Comcast hammers them for it. The theory is that Comcast should instantly pull off the air any of their customers that aren't running secure email servers. That is a nice theory but not very practical to embargo an entire domain for the actions of a couple stupid customers of that ISP.

Will this work with a Yahoo address?

---

It should. But the reason I use hotmail is because hotmail has a direct tie-in to Outlook Express and that way I can use Outlook Express features to send email. Yahoo used to be able to do that also "for free", but now they charge extra if you want to use pop mail functions, so I stopped using Yahoo. Of course, you can still use Yahoo free services, but then you must use their web mail interface to email messages. Just remember to go into "preferences" and change your "reply to" field before mailing.

My Comcast address is not my default address. Does that mean they are (were) they blocking everything from Comcast servers, not just Comcast addresses? And if that's the case, does that mean you have to use a webmail account if you want to have any hope of reaching your AOL friends consistently? My web host offers SMTP service, but my understanding is that Comcast won't allow any other SMTP to be used from a desktop email client.

---

My default address has never been a Comcast address nor was it an @Home address before that. It makes absolutely no difference as far as sending or receiving email. I have a couple of domains, one of them being my main address and my email client is configured to download from that ISP's pop servers but send through Comcast's servers. I've been doing this since @Home and it's never been a problem. Further, since I also have a dialup account, I can just dial into it, change the smtp server and send my email if I have to. At the same time, I can download my email through my regular email client (Pegasus) even when connected via my dialup account.

The only restrictions about using other smtp servers is, as Teriwyn said, that most require you to be logged on through them to prevent them from being used by spammers. Thus I cannot send through Comcast's smtp server unless connected through Comcast. And I cannot send through my dialup ISP's smtp server unless connected via them.

Not true. Comcast does not block port 25 for SMTP. If the SMTP server allows it, you can use them for outgoing mail while still connected to Comcast.

Most SMTP servers, to avoid being used as open relays, will require you to log on to send messages when you are not physically connected to their network, or will require you to check mail on a valid account before you can send. (POP before SMTP, used by many webhosts that actually offer SMTP.)

Hope this clears things up, although it looks like it's a moot point now, since AOL stopped blocking Comcast.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problems-sending-email-to-AOL-addresses-4892818 Fri, 01 Nov 2002 19:30:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Problems-sending-email-to-AOL-addresses-4891264 said by realcableguy1:

I may live to regret saying this ;), but I've had no problems reaching another AOL user who lives near me. Is the filtering regional?

I sorta understood this when Comcast was a brand new ISP... but it looks like this is going to be a recurring theme :(

When I used the smtp server for my dial up account the mail seemed to go through just fine and I have not gotten any fail messages. I am not sure what this means but it looks like AOL doesn't want to talk to Comcast.
