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.
It is usual for an ISP to check whether mail originates from an account that it recognises as its own. When you are away from home you are usually 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. HTH Anne
