That's not the complete message. It should mention the server by name.
If it's mentioning www.mail.comcast.net as the server name, that's
wrong. The WWW. does not belong there. Fix in OE at Tools, Accounts,
Mail, Properties, Servers.

If you still have problems, then see:

www.mail.comcast.net is not a valid mail host name at Comcast. Take out
the "www." part.

You might also reconsider which port to use. Comcast is moving to port
587 for POP3 mail host access and off of port 25 (to thwart the mailer
trojans that infects their customers' hosts).

Oops, that should've read:

587 for *SMTP* mail host access

That is for a non-SSL connect. You can also use port 465 if you enable
SSL on the SMTP connect.

Thanks a bunch. You were right about Comcast switching the smtp port to 587.
I also had to go into my OE account and set the authentication box. I don't
know why, I never had this box checked before. Maybe it also had something
to do with Comcast, but Comcast support didn't tell me that. I had to figure
that out for myself. Thanks again.

my outlook is having problems sending messages from and my mozilla
thunderbird is having problems too from Kate Stewart

Kate,
You may need to change your SMTP Port setting from 25 to 587, on the Advance
tab, for your Comcast mail acct(s), Outlook Express.

Comcast is making these changes on a region by region basis.

In OE TOOLS Email Accts Select Comcast acct Properties button Advance
tab SMTP Port change to 587. Repeat for all Comcast accts.

For Mozilla/Thunderbird you will need to change the SMTP setting from 25 to
587 in the program.

Comcast Help pages for setting up different Mail applications with their
service, look under application name, and article for using Port: 587.
