Wifi workaround

On a recent trip to Spain I subscribed to the local Wifi service at €45 for 14 days. I then encountered the usual SMTP relay problems for my email - even web based mail caused some issues.

However, using Thunderbird I changed the outgoing SMTP to my Googlemail setting, using SSL and port 465 with security and authentication ticked.

This allowed me to send mail from my Virgin, Onetel and Gmail accounts. This information may be of use to other readers.
