I am able to received messages in my Outlook but I can't send any messages.
I get the following error messages..."Outlook could not connect to the
outgoing mail server SMTP. All my SEND messages are in my Outbox. I have
SBC DSL service and I am using 2WIRE modem. My POP3 and SMTP settings are
setup with " mail.XXXX(my domain name). My outlook used to work fine until I
started downloading some Windows Updates. Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

Are you properly authenticating to the outgoing server? SBC Yahoo! requires
that.

Exactly my setup.
My outlook used
to work fine until I started downloading some Windows Updates.

What version of Outlook and what updates?
