Hi there...

I can receive emails at work using Outlook on my laptop using their broadband connection, but not send them.? My ISP is xtra, not sure of theirs. Being rural, it might be the same.

Anyone have an idea why? Thanks!!!

Also dont use port 25, I have found that at several hotspots or other networks it is either totally blocked, or else redirected into their own mail server which will mean that you end up sending email which will fail SPF checks so get rejected or go straight into peoples spam folders.
