Hello

> He frequently travels to Africa on business, and when he is there, he can
receive email on his computer but he can't send it.

It could also be that his ISP blocks SMTP connections from certain countries
in an attempt to prevent spam entering their network. I've heard of some
ISP/hosts blacklisting entire IP blocks in the past, maybe this is a
variation?

Hi All,
 
I have a client (in the US) who uses Verio as his webhost. He frequently
travels to Africa on business, and when he is there, he can receive email on
his computer but he can't send it.
I have no idea why this would happen. I am probably going to have to call
Verio to speak to them about it, but I thought I would ask the list first.
Does anyone have experience with this? Would it help to move his site to a
better webhost or is it not the webhost?
 
If this is off topic, here is a tip, not sure I am formatting this
correctly. I searched on evolt.org to see how to format it, but I can't find
it.
 
[tip]<tip>The best article I have found about how FF and IE interpret CSS
differently and how to use conditional style sheets is here:

Thanks,
Nan
