Help suggests that it could be smtp (outgoing email)server that's not
recognized. Any ideas on how to resolve after hours and out of state? I can
receive mail but sent messages are stuck in outbox.
 
What you are experiencing is actually quite normal. You are not
allowed to use a port 25 SMTP server that is on a different network
than the network providing your Internet connection. For more on
that policy, see http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

While traveling, it is best to use webmail for sending.
The only other option is to get a Gmail account, because the Gmail
SMTP server uses port 465, which is not blocked.
