Ok, here we go. I use Live Mail. I understand Verizon has stopped using Port 25 to block spam. The port to use is 587. Of course when I send email via Verizon.net with outgoing port 587 there is no issue. If I contact my work server to send mail I get the message noted below. Keep in mind that Verizon in their wonderful way of making cash advises that static IP addresses do not need to change to port 587. Port 25 is dandy. However....residentual FIOS connections are dynamic IP address and therefore need to use port 587. No good. No good for my coworker also on FIOS. He is also on DSL from Verizon at another home of his. Now this was not like this from jump street. Our emails have been working and only just quit last week. I called Verizon support only to be told to call MS. Sweet huh?
