COX and SMTP with ERIS DROID

I have been trying to set up my COX email for the last 1.5 days on my ERIS. Recieving mail is no problem but I cannot send anything. Keep getting the answer about not being able to connect to COX server. I have taken it to Verizon and they say it isn't on their end and then contacted COX who said they support no wireless systems but try putting in the proper SMTP code.
Double checked everything and it still isn't working.
Any ideas?
