New ISP - New Config Issue (email notifications)

[1leftygolfer]

Not too long Russ helped me, rather configured my modem/router (ATT Netopia) for me. All has been great until the ATT DSL service has become intermittent, so I canceled and went with Comcast (Moto Surfboard modem). I've managed to obtain network accessibility, but zero luck with email notifications. Following Alan's guide, I came across this error message...but clueless on how to solve it. Appreciate any assistance.

Can you post your email config parameters? Double check the server name and port. For Comcast it looks like it should be:

server = smtp.comcast.net
port = 465
authentication = on
