I received the email below. I changed the settings as requested on Friday night. Its been working fine until a few minutes ago. Now I get the following message...
Error Message
Task 'Kelli - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC7D) : 'Your outgoing (SMTP) server does not support SSL-secured connections. If SSL-secured connections have worked in the past, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
I rechecked the settings and they match the emails instructions. Can you please offer some suggestions?

The message is legitimate and the settings do normally work. You said they were working which hopefully means you did them correctly. Truely temporary failures could be a problem on their servers, which hopefully they would be working to fix.
Remember that you are NOT talking to Verizon accept for a few board admins. You are talking to peers.
The message is the one you would get if not using the right ports or not talking to the correct servers.
