Wi-fi and SMTP



Apologies if I'm repeating old questions, or if I should have looked
for an FAQ etc. Am rather pushed for time unfortunately.

I have an Apple Mac Powerbook with a wireless card. All works fine at
home. When I travel, I often use wi-fi hotspots, but I'm not able to
send emails although I can receive them fine.

I'm assuming that it's because my computer doesn't know the details of
the relevant SMTP server - is that correct? In a given situation, how
can I find these details? I'm about to visit a friend who, like me,
has a wireless network at home so I'd like to be able to send emails in
the usual way rather than messing around with webmail etc.

Thanks.
