your incoming and outgoing (POP and SMTP) servers should read:

Check
to make sure your email client has outgoing email set to use
authentication.

outgoing email. This prevents any email other than
yourisp.com from being sent. There are two possible ways
around this.

be from you@yourdomain.com) OR
2)
Change the PORT you use for outgoing email. You may use
PORT 26 instead.
