My Mrs had this problem following purchasing a Virgin phone at Christmas. Virgin SMTP servers expect the connection to come from a Virgin line, which a Virgin mobile isn't. I was advised in a Virgin shop that there's nothing can be done. So all you need is an open SMTP relay, or a free one. GMail does the trick nicely - I had to do some smoke and mirrors so it looks like mails are coming from her regular address, but it works fine.
