Stumped with an SMTP problem

We use XO for our Internet connection. We use Outlook 2000/2002/2003, and our email is Pop3 that is hosted at another office out of state. When we specify our outgoing SMTP server we have to use an XO account in order to authenticate, otherwise it thinks we are trying to spam. We have a lot of laptop users who come into town from one of three other locations in the country. Each location uses a different provider, therefore when they try to send out email we have to constantly change the outgoing smtp server in their Outlook settings.

There must be an easier way to resolve this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

 
Create separate Outlook profiles to use for the laptop users for each location they use email in. Have Outlook prompt them for which profile to use everytime they open it, a small hassle but it does fix the problem you are having.
