[wplug] Personal mail from sendmail or smtp?

[Twisted Cranium]

The mail.domainname.com was (and still is) the mail server provided by my web hosting service.  When I had dial-up with another ISP I was able to use the mail. server name as the smtp server, but with my broadband ISP I cannot use it.
