Excellent! The solution I was looking for!

For X-Ray, set your TB account SMTP to localhost (127.0.0.1). Connection=Regular and use Port 25. Works like a charm.

Hi Roelof,

Many thanks for your reply.

I have downloaded and installed X-Ray. I think it will do the job, but I am unsure what to enter in the smtp setting of The Bat! - should it be 127.0.0.1?

Alternatively, I'd use the "hosts" file approach, but I am afraid that I didn't understand what I was supposed to do. Is it that I add the two lines in HOSTS like:

219.158.128.8 silly.server
181.28.9.1 silly.server  

and use silly.server in The Bat!'s smtp server settings?

There's no reason why you couldn't reach your ISP's smtp server unless it only relays for your ISP's network (and doesn't act upon some authentication) or when your employer's ISP is blocking access to other smtp servers, but both problems occur often enough, so that might be the case.

There are two easy solutions, you could install X-Ray http://www.xrayapp.com/xray/ that does these kind of things automatically, you set x-ray as your local smtp server and it relays everything to the appropriate ISP.
The second solution would be to set the smtp server for all accounts to something silly like smtp.server and create two copy of your hosts file (to be found in \Windows\system32\drivers\etc ) that sets the IP address for smtp.server for either one of your preferred smtp severs.

I have approximately a dozen mail accounts.

Every day, when I take my laptop to the office, I have to change the smtp server on all of the accounts individually in order to use the relay provided by my employer's ISP. Whenever I leave the office, I have to change them all again to the smtp server that works everywhere else.

Would it make sense to be able to change the smtp server for all accounts in one go?

Is there another solution to my problem? Is there a way to access my own domain's smtp relay?
