Can not send mail in a WiFi Spot via Outlook Express

Reason:-Some public wifi systems block port 25 to reduce SMTP traffic and prevent unauthorised use such as sending spam,as a result the user can't send the messages.

Resolution:-One should check with the wifi provider that they allow port 25 traffic.
