I have used this code many times and it worked great. This year it stopped.

I am using the lastest edition of Excel.

I get this error
---------------------------------------
Run-time error '-2147220975 (80040211)':

The message could not be sent to the SMTP server.
The transport error code was 0x80040217. The sever response was not available'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My ISP is comcast but it also worked for g-mail and yahoo.

I also have code to send emails with Outlook and that still works fine. However a friend also
uses this and he does not use Outlook so he has been using the code below.

I know there is a "less secure" option on the comcast, g-mail and yahoo sites to let third party applications work and I did check that box.

I have spent hours trying to get it to work, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Below is the code that suddenly stopped working.

I think it will take someone MUCH better at code than I am to find why it doesn't work.

Thank you so much if you can help.
