You might want to contact your ISP to help with this problem. They supply
you
with an SMTP server to use. you need to make sure you have the correct
info.

Sheila,
Your ISP will supply those details.
It'll be something like 'mail.myisp.com' (usually, but not always for both
POP and SMTP servers)
Hope this helps,
Chek
