Please Help Me! Desperate guy needing email help on Mac!

[chris1982]

Hi everyone, please can you help me??

I bought a domain from 123-reg earlier this year which had a package including hosting, email etc. I have set up my mail forwarding rule with 123 as per all their instructions (which may i say are crap!).

I set the email forwarding so the POP box would send my emails to my Mac at home. I went into Mail on my mac and set up the account as is decribed by 123 but the problem i have is that it will only pick up the email but won't send!

I am on Orange broadbrand which we bought originally from Wanadoo but they were bought out by Orange. The broadband runs on my stepdads PC directly and i run directly from the server through a network cable in my room.

I am very confused as to why i can receive emails but i can't send them. Is it the outgoing server blocking them? Please please can someone help, I am a bit of a novice when it comes to email and the workings of the internet?

I hope i have explained things clearly enough.

Thanks guys

Chris
