I recently switched from Plus net to BT. I have my own domain

way around this problem?

Why are you using BT at all? Use PlusNets smtp relay for
outgoing. = smtp.plus.net

Because I wish to. I never used Plusnet other than for internet. I
use, and have for years, Thunderbird, it is only BT as an internet
provider

I could be wrong but I would have thought that Plusnet would limit
the use of their SMTP server to their own customers.


As I say I miserad that as moving from BT TO plusnet.

I simply couldnt imagine anyone moving TO BT.


I have a similar setup in that I am a BT customer and I have my own
domain which I use for emails in conjunction with BT's email system.
Incoming emails are forwarded from the company hosting my domain to
my BT email address. I download my emails from the BT email server.
Responses/outgoing emails are sent to BT's email server which has an
alias for my domain email. This basically lets me pretend to be
someone (from a BT email point of view).


There can be issues sending via BT using a foreign (to BT) email address.

But it is not clear

(a) whether the problem is sending or receiving
(b) How mail is being sent, or received.
