Did you change ISP's or anything?  If you're email addresses are sending
through a domain other than your isp's smtp server, chances are you
won't be able to send.   For my bizniche.com accounts (my domain) I
can't use the smtp server for bizniche.com when dialing up with
earthlink.  I have to use earthlinks smtp server (smtp.earthlink.net or
something.)  The pop server can be my own...but not the outbound.

Might be something,
