Can Not Send E-mail from My Son's Wireless Network

[Bob in PGI]

I can send e-mail from my wireless network at home and at motels. At my
son's house I can receive e-mail but can not send. I get error 0x80042109.
My ISP is embarq. My son's ISP is sbcglobal. Embarq says I must use my
son's ISP and his users name and password to send e-mail. Is it nesessary
that I use my son's account to send e-mail from his house?

If you are connected to embarq, their smtp server will accept your email
because you have already been validated as an embarq customer and not a
spammer. When you are on sbcglobal network, embarq have no idea who you are.
Wifi networks at motels often transparently redirect all smtp requests to
their own servers.

Ask if embarq have authenticated smtp or get a gmail account and use that
for sending regardless of where you are.

I have authentication set. I.e. Checked: Requires authentification. Use
same setting as incomming mail server.

I can send e-mail from a motel.

I really need to use outlook because I have a large contacts list and I can
not spell.


It appears that sbcglobal is not sending my e-mail to embarq.

I have setup an account on my son's ESP so I can send e-mail. The sbcglobal
setup is quite complicated and includes smtp SSL encription port 465, pop3
SSL encription port 995.

Thanks for your help.

Right, and this will work when you're on your own network.

I can send e-mail from a motel.

Then the hotel ISP doesn't care about routing.

Correct. AT&T/Yahoo won't let you send mail from an embarq address while
using the AT&T network. This is common practice.

I have setup an account on my son's ESP so I can send e-mail. The
sbcglobal setup is quite complicated and includes smtp SSL encription
port 465, pop3 SSL encription port 995.

Correct. This is to prevent unauthorized mail senders from accessing the
Yahoo servers.
