Re: Using Alternative SMTP Server

Using a laptop you cannot say which ISP you will connect to at any given time. It would be impractical to maintain a whole raft of email accounts for each potential ISP. Certainly I use mine on a BT account and it accepts my NTL SMTP server.
This is either worrying or incorrect, because as far as I know NTL's SMTP servers are IP limited to NTL customers only.

Not to IP limit the SMTP servers would leave them open to be used as spam relays, which i'm sure NTL would not wish to encourage.
