If you are with Bellsouth, your outgoing mail server will need to be mail.bellsouth.net.

If you are with another ISP, your outgoing mail server will generally be the same as the incoming mail server: mail.yourdomainname.com. If you are not sure or if you experience outgoing mail server errors after setting your account up you will need to contact your ISP and ask if you have to list a specific outgoing server.
