Default Internet connection for outlook

I have a client in the cleveland ohio area and who also has a home in boca
florida,Outlook is setup for roadrunner connection in cleveland and I'm
trying to figure out weather it will work when he takes his laptop down to
florida and now connect's to comcast where time warner was asorbed ?,Won't
outlook just look accross the net to find the tw servers to send and receive
mail or will he have to change settings to adapt to comcast down there,I was
under the impression that outlook once setup will or should work where ever
the connection comes from.Thank you Jason

Chances are he'll get a connection issue on sending mail. Most larger ISPs
do not allow addresses whose domain is different from theirs to send mail.
In general, the sender address domain and the SMTP server domain must match.

Brian is correct here. Usually when at home your SMTP Port is 25. When away from home it can change to Port 587. As suggested call your ISP to find out the correct details
