Thank you for your advice Rob. I must admit that that seems to kill the point of having email, if you can only ever use it to send messages when plugged into your ISP's own piece of wire! Out of interest, is this typical of all providers, or is it just another Virgin cost-cutting measure, dressed up as a "security measure"?

If you want to send email using your VM account as the reply address, you have to fiddle with your email client and set the smtp (send) server settings to you work's server.
