Gary,
Thanks for re-referencing your first post. I had (like a fool) discounted
it as inapplicable the first time through. Second reading shows the error of
my ways. I think your option "3" might be the best way to go. Could you
provide those additional details?
Also, if it helps you understand my situation better:
Home ISP and e-mail host: Bellsouth.net
Work ISP: Comcast
Work e-mail host: Third party
Most perplexing to me is that, since my work ISP and e-mail host are not the
same, based on what everyone says, I shouldn't be able to send on any of my
POP3 accounts, right?
Not necessarily. The issue arises if the SMTP server is on Port 25. Many, and an increasing number of ISPs block Port 25 for connections to any SMTP server other than their own. This is done to block spam relaying.
If you're using a 3rd party SMTP server and it isn't on Port 25, you can have no problem sending at all.

What you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of
the SMTP server must be the same as the one providing your Internet
connection at that moment. For more on this see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx
The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows:
1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask your home ISP if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently, substitute the SMTP
server belonging to that connection. This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route,
I can provide more details.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
configure it for POP access, and use it for your sending chores.
Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is.
