Why has it changed? Technology, especially in the computer realm, is never static.
New solutions to the spam problem are constantly being implemented, which can
result in inconveniences to ordinary users.
It looks like your domain is hosted by McCoy Productions, a pretty small outfit.
The likelihood of them supporting an SMTP port other than 25 is pretty slim.
So that leaves it up to your ISP. Unfortunately, their support page
http://www.dot11net.com/support.asp results in an error.
And their home page
http://dot11net.com, redirects to a speed test elsewhere.
Not exactly a confidence inspiring outfit!
I'm going to assume their SMTP server is named mail.dot11net.com
but if you know better, by all means substitute what you have.
Here are the steps to take:
In Windows Mail go to Tools, Accounts, select your gypsyhorsesintexas.com
mail account, click Properties, Servers. Change the name of the outgoing (SMTP)
server to mail.dot11net.com. Do not change the incoming server. Also,
make sure that the "My server requires authentication" option is checked.
Click the adjacent "Settings" button. Select "Log on using"
then enter your Dot11 username and the associated password. Click OK.
Try sending.

Sent from home desktop. This is a brand new problem starting two days ago.
Have been fine FOREVER. This is NOT a new account or any changes made.
I read other posts and did try using 587 rather than 25 but that didn't do
anything.
My home ISP is a local company called dot11 ( I live in the country).
I have been sending out using Windows Mail with Vista for several years with
NO problem....why this new issue suddenly ?
Thanks for your time....I have worn out my server guy...he can't figure it
out either.
