Smtp

I connect to the internet through AOL as I can stay online all day. My work ISP is different and I send email from my work email over AOLs account.

My work ISP has now stopped me being able to send email over their SMTP without dialing into their system, were as b4 I would be able to stay logged into AOL and send email.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any SMTP services that would allow me to still be connected to AOL and send through my work ISP.

Thanks

Sounds lke they made the change thru their network and so there won't be any way for you to circumvent that. I would guess they made the change for security purposes, probably put in a firewall to protect their servers from the stuff that is hitting out there...

About time your work ISP did something responsible like that, not that it makes your situation any easier. Check with them to see if they can turn on authentication on SMTP; or else you could use the reply-to address on your mail client in conjunction with AOL mail.
