Email send problem by Outlook

If you are having problem sending emails, make sure you are certain you have followed the instructions for setting up your email client to sendmail, including enabling SMTP Authentication, the only other possibility could be your ISP. Most ISP's block sendmail?s default port of 25. They do this so they can "control" your email habits (this is mainly geared to abusers or spammers). To correct this problem simply, configure your SMTP settings to use your ISP's SMTP settings. For example, mail.mindspring.com, if you're using earthlink.net as a ISP. The following links are websites that has a list of known ISP that block SMTP. http://bluehill.com/support/tb/port25.html
