New POP/SMTP settings on Virgin?

[Jonny69]

I'm having increasing problems sending email with Outlook Express from my Yahoo account. Have Virgin changed their SMTP requirements? Normally it's quite happy with pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk

Is there something else I should be using?

Virgin / ntl - what ever you want to call them. Unless of course you meant Yahoo when you said virgin, of course

I just swapped the outgoing mail server from port 25 to port 587 and it has cured my problem. Oh my god this has been going on for MONTHS
