Multiple SMTPs

[Guest]

I have a laptop that, when away from home, won't send unless I set up the
outgoing server SMTP.aaa.aaa, yet at home, it demands that I use SMTP.bbb.bbb
(aaa and bbb are wild cards in this case).
How do I set up any Email program with the proper server info so that I can
send away or at home without having to change settings?
If we have to be program-specific, I'll take the directions for Outlook2003.
Thank you very much for your time.

You pay money to the ISP to allow you. Nothing to do with windows.

I would think that the easiest way is to set up a second Outlook Profile
(called "Home" perhaps?) but point it at the same pst file. You would then
set up your email account but using the "home" smtp server.

The reason is so some spammer can't use your account to send mail. So ISPs do two things (if they don't then noone else on the internet will accept their mail)

1. Only allow people to send mail internally. That is you must connect to the smtp server via your ISP's connection.
2. Require a password to send mail and allows access from anywhere. But some companies like you to pay them, and not another ISP, if you intend using their server.
