It might be a limitation the Net admin enforced on your server. THat's
the case for me here too. They only allow local trafic for sending
e-mails...

What I did to workaround this is that I created a POP account witht he
same e-mail address info, no POP server address but I entered the local
SMTP (your ISP SMTP)
I dismissed the warning telling me I was missing a POP server address
and I use this account for sending mail from home ;-\ Tedious, but at
lest it works.

Interesting.... Indeed, I don't see anywhere you could set that up for
the Exchange accounts :-(
