The error message indicates you are connection from a Sky.com
connection (IP 90.197.240.39). As a general rule, the owner of
the SMTP server must be the same as the one providing your Internet
connection at that moment. For more on this see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

The available workarounds are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask your mail provider, Tesco, if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. Substitute the SMTP server belonging to your connection from Sky.
4. Is this a laptop? 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.
A similar thing can be done with a free Hotmail/Live.com account.
