Problems sending SMTP mail

[Bus429]

Just connected via a modem to a cable system in an apartment. No problems with the Internet or POP mail but cannot send SMTP mail (message about server failure).
I use Mozilla but have no problems with my usual broadband connection at home.
Any ideas?

Most likely to be a relaying problem - if the ISP in the apartment is different than the one you normally use then they would prevent email directed towards a different smtp server.

You should be able to send email if you switch the smtp details in your mail client to that of the apartment's ISP.

Cheers.

This is a piece of software that enables you to send mail independantly of the ISP you are using, details here, http://www.postcastserver.com/

.... or you could try mail2web (http://www.mail2web.com/) which is a web based email client that works with the majority of email accounts out there.
