I travel a lot. I have 6 email accounts/addresses. I work out of 4 offices
and hotels, airports etc.

With increasing security to stop spam etc etc, I can no longer use 1 smtp
server to send all mail from all locations.

What I need is a software program the will at the press of a button change
all my smtp servers, outgoing username & password to the location I'm in.

I currently use MultiNetwork Manager which doese the job well, but doesen't
work with Outlook 2007 (yet)

Is anyone aware of a different program that I can try?

Is there any reason you can't use the same SMTP server, and settings for
same, for all your Internet mail accounts? If the SMTP server is something
you authenticate to, it shouldn't matter what your current location is.

most major isps/offices now block you from using anyone's but their own smtp
settings to send mail - this is to stop people sending spam

I haven't found that to be true at all. As long as port 25 is allowed
outbound....it's generally just allowed. However, maybe you'd want to try
something else entirely - like, MailHop Outbound from www.dyndns.org.

Sorry, certainly the case here in Australia! I will check out dyndns though
thanks.

dyndns is the same problem as using a generic smtp server, it still requires
a different smtp address which isps and our IT manager won't accept. I need
to use the correct smtp setting and password for an individual isp and as I
use multiples depending on where I am, I need to be able to change this
quickly!
