Outgoing Email using STMP is failing

A bit more information. I am aware of the email that came out saying there needs to be a change. From the Comcast website (https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/update-your-xfinity-email-settings?rid=15738813&mid=20190917_Adhoc_CM_DotNet_Reminder😞

"If you use a third-party email application, you’ll need to configure your outgoing mail server port to 465 or 587, and update the encryption settings of your outgoing mail server from non-encrypted to encrypted settings. If you don't adjust your email settings, you'll still receive emails, but not be able to send emails after the non-encrypted email settings are blocked."

I might have an issue - I don't have the option to do SSL ... at least there is no check box. However, there is a "My server requires authentication" ... I have to use my login \ pwd there. Shouldn't that be enough?

Thanks

You can also use SSL/TLS or STARTTLS

My only options are:

I have the same issue, same timeframe. I have a Sharx SCNC2607 that's been protecting my home for many years. No emails for the past couple of weeks. I checked the settings (see below) and noticed that SSL wasn't checked, so I did so. No luck. What to do? Not happy that I am not getting notifications if an unannounced "visitor" shows up at my front door. 

Edit: huh, I switched to port 465 and it started working again! 

I also get failed email test from my linksys internet camera (want to usefor motion detection). It did work from my trendnet router but not with my comcast router. I set the SMTP info and test for both gmail and comcast accounts. I set port forwarding for my noip ddns account. Any help appreciated.
