even
if it doesn't cure your problem by itself.

PROBLEM RESOLVED!

At last, problem resolved - had a bit of a think as was not getting anyhere
although I am sure Gary suggested this initially (so thank you)

Basically I set up another email account but used by ISP as the SMTP address
and it works!!!!

So just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for their time and effort
- really much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, substituting your ISP's SMTP server will generally fix this type of problem.
