If any of you have sailed/been to Brazil recently, what did you change your Outlook Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) setting too so that you could send email?
Thanks

A UK based ISP. While still in SA, I had to change the SMPT setting to smtp.vodamail.co.za in order to send email.

how are you connecting? it is usual to use your suppliers smtp. some of them allow you to use your hosters smtp. for example tiscali and orange let me use their smtp settings to send mail headed computers at llangollen.co.uk but others like bt refuse to do this unless you can convince them that you own the domain name of your email address. So answer is it depends, what is your email address on the account that you are trying to smtp, how are you connecting and what is the isp that you are connecting with.

I tend to use the webmail page for my ISP when on the move: much easier all round.

Register an account with AuthSMTP you can send mail regardless of which ISP you're using.

Granted, but the Google also requires SMTP settings......
All acounts in Outlook (or other email prog) need SMTP and POP settings to work.
It may just be in the port settings, or it may be that the ISP wants to work with its local brasilian suffix.

You can probably guess my email address (domain www.stingo.co.za), which I don`t want to type out here because of web-spiders, which is hosted by a UK ISP. At the moment. I am connecting via WIFI at the Race HQ and they cannot answer my questions about the SMTP server simply because there are only admin staff here who know about boats and racing, but nothing about `puters.
I did a google for Brazil ISPs and tried a few logical addresses eg smtp.4com.com.br or pop3 or mail. Pinging some of my guesses succeeded, but the error I get when I use them is about incorrect email address - probably non-matching domains.

John,
if you can get the Race HQ people to let you have a peep at their settings in Outlook, will that help?

Full C has got it, but it will depend on the isp allowing "foreign" address headers to go through its smtp servers.
Have you tried your isp smtp mail server, have done a whois on your domain name and you use Entanet, their smtp servers are as below, this was dated 2007 by the way:
Some users are reporting problems sending mail through smtp.enta.net and smtp.entadsl.com. Our investigations indicate that the only users who will be experiencing problems will be those that are using Outlook Express. This has been tested in our labs and identical messages sent through an alternate client (Thunderbird) have sent without problem. The number of connections being made to our servers as a result of this issue has obviously increased the demand for resources, we have therefore added an additional server to the SMTP pool to assist. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Why dont you install a local SMTP server on your own laptop????
You can get local SMTP software that works with OE pretty easily... which precludes the need to change SMTP servers everywere you go...
Then you just put , I think, something like "Localhost" or "LocalSMTP" into the settings on OE.....
Here is some freeware....
Local SMTP server Freeware...
I think there are some other types around as well... I seem to recall something that was called "Local SMTP" ..... IIRC it was something like $50.....
All usual caveats apply.

Exactly.
A combination of :
SMTPSpy utility to tell you the SMTP allowed on the connection you are on.
AutoSMTP utility to have all your SMTP items listed so you can choose any that applicable where you are.
With my co's work - my guys and I travel a lot and if we are not on 3G / GPRS connection via our Mobile contracts, ie connected via Hotel - then use of above two utilities gets us up and running within minutes.
Problem is that ISP's don't like "relay" of mails and block. So AutoSMTP using as PD says Localhost in the the e-mail software gets round it by you selecting relevant setting.
There are automatic SMTP selectors - but we haven't found any that are reliable and work - so we've gone back to AutoSMTP.
You will also be told by some that you can uncheck 'authenticate' in Outlook ......... works sometimes but now always.
Best way ? Web-mail ... then it's no problem. It's when you work outside web-mail ie Pop3 that all this starts.

I connect to the internet via VirginMedia cable broadband, Three mobile broadband, a friend's BT broadband wireless network and occasionally via wifi hotspots. I have several e-mail accounts with Virgin, Tiscali and Google. All my e-mail accounts are set up to use the same outgoing mail (SMTP) server setting of smtp.googlemail.com Get yourself a googlemail account and do the same.

A question. I use Thunderbird but with a Hotmail account - I dont like direct access to webmail. And I periodically get problems when Hotmail changes and have to wait for a new add-on from mozilla. Would I get round this problem if I used the freeware SMPT program above? Or is it just MS/Hotmail trying to be awkward?

I use Thunderbird too and don't have any problems at all so presumably it's an issue with hotmail? Try a google mail account?
PS - do you also use the Lightning add on for Thunderbird? (it's a calendar with a similar look and feel to MS Outlook's calendar)
