Right, This sounds like a situation with multiple ISPs where you are connected through, for instance ISPhome.net and trying to send mail through the SMTP server of work-account.com, or vice versa. The SMTP server is configured to only forward mail from computers currently connected through that ISP, so it bounces mail from computers connected any other way. For instance, on my home computer, I connect to my office's POP server to retrieve my mail, but must use the home account's SMTP server, even for outgoing business mail.
