this is what you do. Run as fast as you can to the nearest apple store with
a couple thousand bucks and purchase one of those machines.
 
Don't be delusional. The laws of physics don't change for Apple.
A port 25 block imposed by the ISP is a port 25 block for all computers.
 
Was he using a laptop away from home? Or perhaps an Internet
connection other than Verizon? If so, what he experienced
is normal. Reply back to confirm the circumstances, so I can give you
some workarounds.
 
Thanks for taking the time to respond to me and the other jackass response
was just frustrating - since this is the first time I am using this as a help
tool. S

SO Gary - My father uses this laptop as his PC - it's been moved from garage
office to bedroom office - but same wireless connection has been used the
entire time.

PLEASE HELP.
 
I have simular message when trying to send from non local, but can send
direct from Tiscali server but these are saved on that sever, can you advise.

Assuming that the Internet connection is coming from Verizon, then
we can rule out a port 25 block. The next most likely cause for that
error is interference from a non-compatible antivirus program.
Which antivirus is it?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, the antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:

Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
 
I get this message when away from home and using 3rd party connections.

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'test', Account: 'harryst', Server:
'smtp.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 Sorry, your
non-local IP address (85.242.206.181) is not allowed to send email via me.',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC6F
 
Your provider (Tiscali) does not allow you to use their SMTP
server when not connected through their Internet connection.
One thing you might try:
Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.

If no dice:
The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Change to a better ISP.
3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently, substitute the SMTP
server belonging to that connection. This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route,
I can provide more details.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
configure it for POP access, and use it for your sending chores.
Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is.
