Are you trying to send through an SMTP server that is not run by the ISP
that you get your connection from? If so, your ISP has probably blocked
connections to any servers but their own (many now do this). You might just
point the SMTP server of the account that is not connecting to one of the
servers that you can send through - they're all just SMTP servers, after
all, and which one you send through doesn't really make a difference.
