Re: FN-FORUM: VirginMedia and email domains

date posted 9th November 2007 15:07

In my experience with BT even they don't let you do this in general.

Your best bet is to send the email from Outlook with the "Outgoing =20
Server" set to use the VirginMedia username/password and SMTP server. =20
That's how I normally set up my accounts - they still come from xyz =20
domain, but are sent using btinternet or whatever the hell it is.

Blocking domains from being used as outgoing servers is fairly =20
standard (to my understanding) with ISPs now, as it stops a lot of the =20
open-relay spam stuff from going on.
