I have suddenly not been able to send any messages from my outlook account.
Possibly due to a recent windows update?
nothing else has changed. here is my error message;

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: Floors', Account:
'POP3.firstmedical.ca', Server: 'mail.firstmedical.ca', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Making my work day very stressful!

Firstmedical.ca is not an ISP. As such, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

To send from home, you will have to substitute your home ISP's
SMTP server. If you need help with that, let us know who your
home ISP is.
