Router blocking Outlook Send Emails

Hello,
I have two computers one is wired and one is wireless to a Linksys WRT54G v. 2 router. Neither can send emails from Outlook 2007. When I connect the computer directly to the modem, sending works perfectly, which leads me to believe it is a router issue. I have the latest firmware, and have also modified port target forwarding to include email. Nothing seems to be working.
I've disabled the AVG antivirus as I read that can cause conflicts, but still does not send.

We had the same issue the other day and we were able to get around it by using a different smtp server. We are setup to use IMAP for our email protocol. If you find a solution, please post the resolution. We are using the same router, so I wonder if it is a router issue. I was thinking it had to do with the ISP since the user sending the email was not a user from our company.

Came back into the office this morning and could send emails again just fine. I'm wondering if the router has a volume limit on the number of emails? And perhaps thought we were spamming and denied us access for a period of time?

More likely your ISP.
If it's AT&T, get used to it (e-mail) going down about twice a month.
