sorry I didn't read your original post, I didn't think I could help. |

I haven't read your original thread, so I don't know if someone has |
| 9 |
suggested this already. |

I get this problem when I try to send mail to, say, a@×.com from |
| 12 |
my@×××.com account when I'm actually not connected through isp.com, but |
| 13 |
rather through a 3rd party isp. |

This is called relaying, which spammers look for because it enables |
| 16 |
anyone to send spam, and hence any good isp should block it. |

What you can try is: |
| 19 |
1. Make sure you're actually on your isp.com network - get the ip |
| 20 |
address of their mail server, and get your ip address and see. |
| 21 |
2. Enable passwords with your mail client - not just to check mail, but |
| 22 |
to send mail as well. (With evolution its in Edit > Prefs > Mail |

| 24 |
looks like you're using mozilla though...) |

HTH, and as I said, I hope this wasn't already mentioned in the original |
| 27 |
thread... |
