Hi Steve,
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?
Thanks
Kenny

You need to contact your ISP. Very many will not allow you to use their
SMTP server unless you are connected to them. Some, however, allow you
to
authenticate first with your username and password and then the send is
allowed. You need to check with them to determine what you can do.
If they allow authentication, then you need to check the option under

Hi,
My outlook is correctly configured to send email via my smtp server. As
long
as I log onto a secure network with a username and password, the email
is
sent.
However, I recently moved to wi fi and when I log onto a public network
ie
no username and password, I cannot send the email. I am able to
retrieve
the
mail. Outlook spits out an error along the lines of an error with the
server.
What do I do.
Thanks
Kenny
