It is usual for an ISP to check whether mail originates from an account that

attempting to send from a different domain and IP, so it rejects the mail
(probably someone will correct the technical details, but that's the general
idea).
The solution is to have a second smtp account set up which is not ISP-
dependent. I use gmail for this. When away from home I simply set the gmail
smtp account as the default sending one, and switch back when I get home.

I am looking for a little education via this email. I have found when I go
on trips that I often can't send email, and once I have a problem I can't
send email again until I get back home and send email from there.
