Has Comcast started requiring SSL / TLS?  This looks like you are connecting 
on port 25, but Comcast is not allowing it.

Subject: [blat] BLAT stopped working

I have been using BLAT in a script for several years.

Earlier this month, I started getting messages like this:

Clearly, Comcast has changed something in their SMTP server.

What can I do? (I did not run -install)

My command line is

blat xxcopy.log  -server smtp.comcast.net:587 -f [email protected] -u 
specialcav -pw xxxxxxxxxx -to [email protected] -s "PJH Backup 
Results" -debug -log blat..debug.log -timestamp
