[X Newbies] Wi-Fi SMTP

[Norman Cohen]

It varies from ISP to ISP. Typically though you have to authenticate to  
send mail through your ISP's server, when not on their network. Since  
you have earthlink in your e-mail address, I googled "earthlink  
authenticated smtp" (smtp stands for simple mail transfer protocol and  
is the program at your ISP that handles sending mail).

Check out this link:

7280.psc.html>

It explains how to set up authenticated sending because "these settings  
are secure, and will allow you to send mail no matter how you are  
connected to the Internet (work, a different Internet provider,  
ect.).[sic]"
