My doaughter uses Sypatico ADSL.  She uses their SMTP server for outbound 
mail.

She does not use a Sympatico email address.  The normal way of
submitting email to sympatico blocks non-sympatico email addresses.
But if you used smtp2.sympatico.ca as the server, it worked.

Today, smtp2.sympatico.ca stopped accepting SMTP connections on port
25.  We tried 587 too.

Does anyone know a new trick?

(Clearly ditching Sympatico is called for but there are reasons not to
do so and in any case that would take a while.)
