whilst you are not connected to your wireless router at home - you
will need to change the outgoing settings according to the
recommendations of your mobile provider.
As part of a best practice measure to prevent SPAM Email, our
email server will only allow emails to be sent when they come from
within our network.
However, receiving email will still work correctly even when
connected outside of our network through a mobile provider.
