Message: <blockquote data-quote="technologist" data-source="post: 365305" data-attributes="member: 4134">Most of the time, you can use a single SMTP server wherever you are, regardless of which network connection you're using. I use the same server from home, work, Panera, my parents' house....The only time you might have a problem is if your ISP blocks access to port 25 (which is the normal port for SMTP.) Many ISPs do this to prevent spam, and only allow access to their own particular mail server.In my case, I have a .mac account and use smtp.mac.com as my outgoing mail server. Because my ISP blocks port 25, I have to use SMTP on port 587, which the .mac SMTP server <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302030" target="_blank">supports for exactly this reason.</a>Usually, though, you can find one server that will work from anywhere.</blockquote>
