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.
I have solved this problem for myself by getting a POBOX.COM address.
This allows me access to their SMTP authenticated server and I can send
email from any location worldwide (and have done so). See -
<www.pobox.com> for information.
To save a bit of money look at a 'low proced' webhost. Most include email
accounts in the package and more then a few will allow you to use something
other then port 25 for outgoing mail (making you immune to the hotspot's
ISP filtering). You can find webhosts these days for less then $20.00
annually.
fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
