hi, someone please try to help me figure this out because its driving me nuts.


When i use outlook express to send mail, outlook has no problems. the server does not require authentication and my server address is

smtp.comcast.net


now, when i try any code to try and send an email through VB, I get a timeout error "Winsock Error Number 10053".


I've tried to send mail using moeur's simple mail sender class as well as 3 or 4 other mail sending code.. all to no avail.

I've shut down my firewall completely to make sure that is not the problem and still the same thing.

yet outlook express has absolutely no problems.

anyone?

i'll post code if you guys want me to but i dont think the code is the problem? does comcast have some kind of anti spam thing that is blocking mail on the server side?
