I am using AOL for dialup service when I am on the road. At home, I just have DSL. I use outlook to get email, etc. I have my own mail server via hosting services.. it works fine at home.. but when I am online via AOL, my outlook does not work.

Can anyone help?? I get the following error:

Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [172.141.4.102]

Thank you..

probably because you need to authenticate before sending out mail.
there's an option in outlook that says to use the username/password from the pop/imap account to verify against
when sending out email.
