12 Your ISP's mail server thinks you are connecting from outside their
13 network, so it only allows you to send mails to addresses within the
14 network (that's the Relaying denied bit). There's nothing wrong with your
15 network connections, because KMail works, so it must be down to your
16 Mozilla config. Some ISPs also check the domain part of your email
17 address, is that set the same in Mozilla and KMail?
