Are you receiving any error messages when you attempt to send? Is the Outgoing Server setting correct?

SMTP ISP Block

If your mail was working before and you have no virus its your ISP blocking port 25.

SBC users go to sbc web site and fill out the " Abuse of service" form and opt port 25 in subject.
Tell them to remove the #@$#$# filter on port 25, and let my mail through.

I had to do this. Started late last yr but only started around the posting of your question. Booohahahaha.
