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....
