I am sitting in a wi-fi cafe right now. All
mail comes through as configured but I can't figure
out how to send.
The network showed up immediately on my AIRPORT/MAC
with NO configuration, but the sending mail won't
go.
All I know is the network is called SMC. The
help has no clue.
How do I adjust my smtp so that mail can also
be sent from my regular mail.app?
Thanks!

You might want to check out a program called
Postcast. It is a mini SMTP server that sits on
your PC and allows you to send emails from
your usual email client without having to use an
ISPs SMTP server.
As such, regardless of who is operating the
wireless hotspot you can still send email without
having to reconfigure your mail client every time.
It works a treat and best of all, it's free. |

I can't use this program because I don't have a
PC I have a Mac and I already do have a
server on there but just not configured for
smtp.
I just want to know how to set up the smtp
when you don't know the network info...I guess
webmail is the only way to do it, even though
the pop incoming does work.
<sigh>

| Can't you use you ISP's SMTP? example smtp.yourisp.com
for outgoing email and set that up in the
network's or your mail program. |

Difficult to say with a Mac environment, it may
have to do with the LAN proxy settings or
firewall, not sure though.
I think it may also have to do with smtp mail
protection some servers have to prevent unauthorized
use, which you can enable or disable.
Here is a quote about it:
...SMTP tweak will prevent users from bypassing the
mail server to send mail (This is a common
practice used by spammers). It will only allow the
MTA (mail transport agent), mailman, and root to
connect to remote SMTP servers.... |
