This is what I saw yesterday. Which begs the question: is it Outlook, or mail.msu.edu? Something seems to change spontaneously somewhere. Thomas P.

Carter Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] mail.msu.edu I have run into this program with Outlook 2003 before and had to change the outgoing SMTP port to 465. Later, then I was connected to the MSU network, I had to change it back from 465 to 25 as it stopped sending again. I've found that, depending on the day, I have to change this outgoing port number. -t On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 13:24:23 -0500, Thomas P.
