I'm at a new work location operating XP MS Outlook 2003. I can receive mail
and surf but unable to send e mail. I spoke to my ISP and they told me I need
to change my STMP. My questions is what do I change it too? I know I'm
working with an exchange server??? I know its vague, but I'm new to this. Any
Help?

Actually it's SMTP and your ISP should be able to tell you what server name
to use. If you're using an Exchange server then you shouldn't have to worry
about it - you should just use the Exchange server service in Outlook and
Exchange should take care of sending/receiving mail. Check with your
Exchange administrator about that.

Thank You for the help, but would you be kind enough to explain further? What
kind of information would I need from my administrator?Or can I do this
myself?

What is your Account type? It's highly unusual for an ISP to provide
Exchange services.
 
Your Exchange administrator should be able to configure your workstation to
properly send/receive mail thru the Exchange server. If you're using a
seperate account to connect directly to an ISP then you would need the SMTP
server address which you should be able to get from your ISP.

Of course, if you're in a corporate network it's possible that your
corporate firewall has been configured to prevent you from accessing outside
SMTP servers directly.
