While the domain may be registered with the other company, are they also responsible for hosting. There should be some way of getting the email tags (I think they are called) transferred over to BT.

Simply put most email servers require authentication in some form or other. To let you connect if you are using details that are not part of the network, would cause issues potentially with spammers.

Having said all that, when in my office, and connecting via my office ISP claranet, I can send my personal email that would be returned to an ntl or other addresses using Outlook or Outlook Express. I simply point the outbound smtp server at the clara hosts. The reply to address is setup in outlook to point at my ntl ones, yet no doubt if someone searched the headers of the email they would know it was issued via clara not ntl servers.
