Problems sending SMTP mail

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.

.... or you could try mail2web which is a web based email client that works with the majority of email accounts out there.
