Never mind, I just changed the Port to 0, and removed the

 I'm guessing Charter switched those settings in the old program  [in one

 saying this, because I remember it used to be 25, and I don't remember 
 changing it.  Could they have done that?  I forgot to say I'm on a 
 laptop.  I don't know what my desktop has, it's been so long since I 
 used it.
 
 Thanks to everyone who has been patiently helping me!

So I reckon that we can mark this [Resolved] so that others don't
continue to offer additional suggestions?

Yes, I didn't know there was a protocol for that.  Thanks!

Also the Newsgroup [cross posting] message filter IS working, that you 
helped me with.

Thanks again!

No protocol... just a nice thing to do when the problem is solved :-)
Glad you got it working! Note: for newsgroups that I expect to see some
crossposting to related newsgroups (not spammers)  I want to be alerted
that I'll: 1) either need to remove the crossposts when responding, or
2) ignore the post because it's been crossposted, I set the filter to
mark it as read, flag it, and mark it as 'work'; that way the post
header appears in orange with a flag  I immediately know that it
includes crosspost headers.
