Many ISPs require that you be directly connected to their service (not via
another ISP,
corporate LAN, etc.) in order to send via their SMTP mail server. (They
match your IP
address against those owned by the service.) An exception is made for
messages being sent
to recipients of their service. The typical error message will be "Cannot
Relay" or "Not
Local" or "Not Gateway" or something similar. If you go into the Properties
of the email account then see if checking "My outgoing server requires
authentication" helps, you my also have to check "Log onto to incoming mail
server before sending mail. If neither of these work I would contact the ISP
