Can use other SMTP server from MSN dialup

[Michael Appelmans]

Is it possible to use an smtp server for outgoing mail
instead of hotmail? I have a client who has msn dialup
access but needs to use the business email smtp server
instead of hotmail. When we setup and tested the account
she gets server not found error for outgoing mail.

Any clues on this would help as MSN docs say nothing
either way.

Thanks.

Michael

What SMTP server are you using?

I thought MSN was one of the many ISPs that blocked port 25 and made users
use the ISPs SMTP server.
