I can only receive emails and send not so far from home

Split of: " ", "http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/a424e146-1a2f-4133-80d5-db98f08f5421"" "

Currently, I use Windows Vista and access my email using Windows Mail.  When I am connected to my internet router 'House', I can send and receive emails, absolutely perfect.  When I am away from home and try to connect to an internet router to the hotel (with a key) or internet router to friends (with a key), I can only receive emails and not send.  I get the error message is: the connection to the server has failed.  He then mentions the details into account, server, Protocol, Port and secure (SSL) followed by the Socket error: 10060 and the error number: 0x800CCC0E.  Anyone know why I have a problem when I'm away from home?  Any help much appreciated.

Looks like you are running in a block of 25 port. What you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of port 25 SMTP server you use must be the same as the entity that provides your Internet connection at the moment. To learn more about this issue, see anti-spam
 
The workarounds available when sending abroad are the following:
 
1. use webmail to send (via your browser).
2. ask your ISP if they have one port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. If you frequently send multiple locations, get free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, set up in Windows Mail and use it to
your shipment of household chores. Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked as is port 25.
