This is ringing a bell. I had problems sending mail when I got my iMac last Spring. I finally traced the problem to a POP number, but I can't remember the details, and I don't remember posting about the problem on the forum. I did do a forum search for "port outgoing" and found one message posted by someone else that hinted at the problem. Take a look at it, because it might give you a clue about what to look for in your set up. I'll poke around on this computer and see if I can find the spot where I needed to make the change and post back if I find it.

Edit: OK, I found what I was looking for. Go to Mail>Preferences>Account Information, then look for Outgoing Mail Server and click on Server Settings. I had to change the port to 25 before I could get it to send mail. See what port yours is set to use.
No guarantees, but it cured my outgoing mail problem.
