addresses like Comcast.net and AOL don't go out when I go to DNS
delivery. Everything goes out using the smart host.

Probably flagged as spam because your DNS reverse lookup is missing or
wrong. Are you getting a lot of your sent emails marked as spam?

OK, so the smarthost is by your choice.

Either way, if it's just basic authentication for SMTP, Exchange
should be ok with that.

I use qwest as a smart host. Recently, they have turned to secure
authentication for outbound e-mail. They required user name,
password, and to use port 465. I see how to add the user name and
password on the advanced tab, but how do I add the port?

It's on the outbound connections tab.

You are going to have a problem if they require SSL. 465 is a
common port to do SSL/SMTP on. Exchange doesn't do that, so you
may be looking for another service for outbout email. I take it
this is not a business class connection, right?
