    I figured it out.  On Outgoing mail I had to check Log on using user name and password and update that password.  Seems to work now.  Port did change from 25 to 465 though.

    Great! Thanks for sharing what you did to make it work. Yes, port 25 is the only port we block to help cut down on spam.
