Note: Most ISP's restrict who can send email through their SMTP server. Most require that you be connected to their network in order to send outgoing email, some require SMTP Authentication (see below), while others require that the "From" address of email matches the ISP's domain. An incorrect SMTP Server setting can result in a No Valid Recipients Specified error when trying to send email. For more information please visit http://www.kabsoftware.com/kb/data/kb151.htm
