NOTE: Some local ISP's block the email port and only enable their own email server to send email out. Generally we have found this to be the case with Bigpond and Optus in Australia, but there could be other ISP's with this policy.
Once you have set up your email account, if can not send out an email, then the above policy is probably the cause. You should check with your ISP and ask them for the correct SMTP address.
Generally Bigpond is: mail.bigpond.net and Optus is mail.optus.net, but they do use other SMTP addresses.
ALSO NOTE: If you do change the SMTP address to your local ISP SMTP address, then you will need to uncheck "My Outgoing Server (SMTP) requires authentication”
