Hi all,
I recently had great difficulty in sending out emails from Majorca to
Ireland as the local ISP blocked non-client originated emails. A neighbour
kindly was letting me connect my laptop to his Broadband via wireless lan.
I could receive email with no problem, so I was able to keep an eye on this
list, but no matter what I tried the local ISP, Telefonica, would not allow
my outgoing emails through as I was not the account holder. The ISP's here
are not as strict. The Spanish restrictions are to help prevent easy access
by spammers to outgoing ports on the internet.
With Paul's help I was able to get outgoing emails working at last via Gmail
and here is what we did step by step:
Details for setting up GMail with telefonica.net or other difficult ISP:
Firstly, Setup EMail account with Gmail.com
Next on PC go to:
Control panel
