Why can't I send email?

[SWFLhomeseller]

I have read all the posts about not being able to send email via Outlook 2003
and can't find any with the same error message I receive which is below.

Task 'mail.comcast.net - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC78) : 'Unable to
send the message. Please verify the e-mail address in your account
properties. The server responded: 550 69.241.178.131 blocked by
ldapu=rbl,dc=comcast,dc=net -> 550 Message sending error. Please go to
http://faq.comcast.net/faq/answer.jsp?name=17867&cat=Security&subcategory=Spam'

Of course, Comcast says the issue isn't with them. All msings are correct.
I have McAfee virus protection and tried sending with it disabled. Nothing
works. Please help me. Thank you for your time.

If you are sending through another ISP SMTP server, then Comcast is denying
relaying. You will need to set your server to authenticate.

Thank you Milly, however that didn't work either. Anything else I could try?

I am having the same problem, only I use Gmail and they of course said the
problem is not with them. Although they did research it daily with me for
over a week and could not find a problem.

Have you been able to get Outlook to send your email yet? I have been
unsuccessful since May 24, 2005.
