I have two accounts in Outlook 2003 SP3. My 'work' account does not allow
sending via SMTP unless I am in the office to minimize spam relaying. So I
set up a 'home' account to let me send email when I am out of the office
network. When I am in the office, everything works perfect. I set up the
'home' account's "reply-to" address to reflect my 'work' address, so clients
still only send new and reply email to the 'work' address.

There is no way, nor any need to use the outgoing server for this account
when I am out of the office. I just have an annoying error message because
of the way I had to use two accounts.

I would like to eliminate the 0x80042109 error, that is truly expected, by
not having Outlook even try to send from the 'work' account. What can I do
to tell Outlook "Do not use the SMTP information for this account?"

I use Outlook 2007 so the key stroke may be different, but click on the ^ to
the right of the send\receive in the toolbar, then goto send\receive
settings, then define send\receive groups, then either edit the current group
or create a new group.
