Most ISPs configure their SMTP servers to recognize only those whose IP
address is on the accepted list, meaning that you are connected directly
to that ISP. If you use multiple ISPs, you are likely to encounter this
problem. The solution is to change the SMTP server for that mail account
under Tools| Accounts| <account name> Properties| Servers.
So, if you are away from home and using a different ISP for connection,
it will not recognise your email address as being valid.
