What is that longwinded message?
Vintage!
I don't know if this programme could help...
Free SMTP Server
http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html
I tried from my hard drive but I do not try from my USB device yet, I had the same problem in a coffee shop (I coul receive but couldn't sent).
I would be very cool to have a "portable version" of this program or maybe a plugin.
As a quick fix, I used the settings of the Gmail servers (for POP3) mail and it sems to work, the minor caveat is that the mail looks that has been sent from your gmail account and not from your original mail account you setup in the Portable Thunderbird.
Tell me if the programme help you,
This won't work from most connections you'll use. Since it's actually an outgoing SMTP server, it needs port 25 to connect, which is usually blocked. Even if it weren't, you're sending directly from an ip that's dynamic, which many mail servers consider spam and block.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
HI
It says:
"an error occured while sending mail. the mail server responded: Your host (ip address*********btopenworld.com (ip add*******))is not permitted to relay through this STMP server.
stmp.tiscali.co.uk is for the exclusive use of customers of tiscali.
you need to be connected to the internet via a tiscali access product to use this service. if you believe this message is in error, please contact support@uk.tiscali.com. Please verify that your email address is correct in your mail preferences and try again.
I have omitted the ip addresses shown as **********
thanks

Your ISP has their security configured to only allow you to send mail when you're dialed into or directly connected (via DSL or Cable) to their network. You can't use their mail server from outside apparently.

I use Google Mail for my SMTP (in Portable TB), and put my ISP's address in the "Reply To" setting. To e-mail somebody I don't want seeing my Google Mail address, I use my ISP's webmail site to do it (and BCC it to myself if need be to get a copy in Portable TB next time I use it to sign on).
