Sandi, I'm not surprised by this. I just took a close look at a message you had sent to me privately and found this in the headers. "Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 209.64.x.x is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of jmcclure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) smtp.mail=jmcclure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Received: from home (phl-30.phillipsburg.net [209.64.118.222])" * The '.x.x' part of your IP above is my own edit to help preserve your privacy. This shows that your dial-up email authentication has been going through, but only because they didn't really have a reason to doubt it was coming from you. Now that your Phillipsburg posts are coming into the Phillipsburg server through another server, they have a very good reason for doubting it. The cure here would be to call Phillipsburg and ask them how you can use your regular account to send messages when you're stuck on a laptop away from home using someone else's connection. The reply you should get is that you need to set up Authentication in your email client and they should guide you through the process of doing just that. I would do it myself, but different servers need different types on authentication and I wouldn't want to guess what they prefer.
