Does anyone have probs with their cbl or dsl emails?

If this matter has already been addressed, please excuse my newbness to this forum.

For some reason I can't send emails from my "home" email addresses (the ones from my ISP) unless I'm actually at home.

My G-mail works both ways, the email accounts from my company's website work fine, but the home ISP accounts will receive but not send anytime I'm away from my home network...

Any one else having these probs?

this is a pretty common problem with residential service providers like Earthlink (and others) that limit the ability to send mail OUT such that you can only use their network WHILE CONNECTED to their network to prevent spammers from using their facilities.

you either need to find another SMTP service to use (outbound messages) or purchase an account with a service like POBOX.COM ($20/year) to give you what you need.
