Anyone else battle at all?

AT work and home wifi, I get the following message :

'Server does not allow relaying'

Meaning I disconnect wifi, send over 3G, and reconnect ...

Is it a proprietary email service like vodacom or telkom offers?

Not with me. My iPhone and iPad are wifi and send mails with no problems.

It means you are trying to connect to the ISP's SMTP server from outside their network. E.g. smtp.vodacom.co.za while connected via another ADSL ISP.

Create a gmail account and use their SMTP server. That doesn't care where it originates.

Yea - it's Vodacom and I'm not sure what we have at work.

So if I get a Gmail and use theirs - I won't even needs to make use of it?

Correct. I use our web site hosts SMTP server, problem solved.

Gmail and Microsoft Exchange kicks @ss. Used it on my previous Windows Mobile HTC and on more recently on my iPhone. Excellent. I think I got it working on Windows 8 as well and then a day later Windows 8 decided to forget its power settings and lost the plot...

I use three different email Settings :

1. Gmail
2. Exchange POP3/SMTP (with SMTP authentication)
3. Linux mail server for site [redacted] - also with POP3/SMTP authentication.

All works very well, but I use wifi at home, it's the cheapest medium for now (wifi to smoothwall using afrihost account).

Sounds like Vodacom's email server complaining you're trying to send via it but your connection is not originating from Vodacom's IP range.

The solution usually is to use authenticated outbound sending (if supported), which should forego the source IP checking.

Did you try googling? Or were you like, Yeahhh, time to hate some more on the iPad...

I don't hate the iPad ; it's a decent stepping stone to a real tablet - I've always said that?

Anyway - a quick search reveals AT&T settings or the old favourite workaround 'simply disconnect wifi, send via 3G, then reconnect'

AFAIK your ISP should have different SMTP settings that will allow you to send emails via other ISPs.

That. You can now blissfully mail away on different ISPs or 3G without having to worry about which SMTP server to use.
