Hi
Many ISP's don't allow subscribers / customers send mail from another
connection. to the internet So that spammers can be identified and
throughput can be monitored. Therefore, if you use your phone as a
node / terminal on your home network to send mail through Virgin's
network it will go. But if you attempt to send it through the mobile
phone provider's network, it won't go. This is the power of accounts
like google, being generic, any computer around the world can log into
an account and send and receive. It's an interesting thought, Virgin
provide both mobile and home broadband services so I wonder whether you
can send via Virgin's mobile network from a Virgin Media / NTLWorld
account owned by the same customer.
