Send with two different adresses/ISP with one Outlook instance

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

I have this problem:

I have an e-mail-adres (e-mail address removed) and another (e-mail address removed).
The according relay (smtp) servers are: relay.providerA.com and
relay.providerB.com.

I have an internet-connection from providerA, so I'm able to send and
receive mails from that provider.

With the same Outlook (2000) I want to send and receive e-mails from
providerB. After adding providerB in the Services from Outlook, I'm able to
receive mails from my (e-mail address removed)-adress, but I'm not able to send
mails: I always get an error.

What I actually need is: be able to send e-mails from (e-mail address removed) and
mails from (e-mail address removed). So I should kind of be able to chose with which
From-adress I want to send the mails.

Maybe more easily explained: I want on my work be able to send and receive
the e-mails from my home, but I don't want the people I'm mailing to see my
work-adress: they should see my home-adress.

Any help our hints would be really appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

There isn't an easy way to do that with Outlook 2000, unfortunately, but
Outlook 2003 has the Send Using feature which will do exactly what you
want. Is upgrading an option for you?

If I recall correctly you have to go into Tools | Services and rearrange
the mail service order.

I tried that alreaddy, but than I got an error that I'm not able to send
mails to the smtp-server of my home-provider? They seem not to allow to
access them from another provider... :-(

That may be true - a lot of the providers do that.

Re problems sending to smtp server other than your ISPs - ask your smtp
server provider if they can configure it with a port other than 25
(default). Most ISPs who block outbound mail not for their own server only
block port 25. It's stupid really, because the purpose is to prevent their
system from being used to spam others. Of course, the spammers always use
default ports. NOT!

And is their somehow a way to send the mails to some 'open' SMTP-server? an
SMTP server that accepts mails from every provider? Or does they always have
to be send to the right smtp?

When connected to ProviderA, if you want to use the ProviderB account for
sending, authenticate to ProviderA's outgoing server using ProviderA's
credentials.

What I actually need is: be able to send e-mails from
(e-mail address removed) and mails from (e-mail address removed). So I should kind of
be able to chose with which From-adress I want to send the mails.

To the same with ProviderB: when wishing to send mail as (e-mail address removed)
using ProviderB's server, authenticate with ProviderB credentials.

You'll have to have an account with them, but there are providers, like
GMAIL, that you could use.

Well, I found myself a really coll thing that was a solution for all my
problems: just having my own little smtp-server
http://www.postcastserver.com
It works great and is totally free!

Thanks a lot everybody for the help!
