Default Outlook Express & public wi fi network

Many thanks for the reply. I seem able to send email through their server
even though I am not connecting through them. I am staying in a hotel where I
can connect to the internet through a LAN cable from the room. In order to
access the net I have to type in my room number and a password and I pay for
the connection. I am then able to send email through my smtp server.

When I go downstairs to the lobby, I can connect to the public wi fi
network. You do not have to log in and it is free. That is when I get the
problem with the email(I get my mail in from the pop server ok). The only
difference I can see is that the wifi network is not secure.

Any ideas?


Yes. Because the Wi-Fi network is, apparently not secure, the operator
probably prohibits any outbound SMTP messages at all. See if your ISP
will accept message submission on another port; some do.
