Comcast Blocked Port 25

[Stanley Mushaw]

Comcast blocked Port 25 on my modem which disables my ability to send e-mail
due to detected virus/spam activity. They recommended changing my Entourage
port setting to 587. I contacted the Comcast Help Desk but they did not
have any information on Mac's or MS Entourage. Does anyone know how to
change the Entourage Port settings?

Thanks!
Stan
