All of a sudden after 8 months i cant send mail.

This is the error message in getting, this has never happened befor and i
have not changed anything. please advise.

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was ''. Subject 'Re: Re:Re:
Re:Re: Re:Re: dust caps quotations and motor photos', Account:
'mail.dcsoundlab.com', Server: 'SMTP.sbcglobal.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '550 5.7.1 Access denied', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:

Looks like your mail account is hybrid in that it uses mail.dcsoundlab.com
for receiving, and smtp.sbcglobal.net for sending. Is AT&T (formerly SBC)
your ISP? If so, you should be using the new SMTP settings:

Don't change any of the settings for the incoming mail server.
