Actually, there is a little magic in sending email.  It's called 
authentication.  He's probably set to use his own ISP's mail server. 
But when he's on his network, the ISP's mail server is rejecting the 
mail (won't relay).  He may just need to select a local mail server that 
will send mail.

But you're right.  As you point out, there may be other reasons why hos 
mail isn't working.
