ISPs now block usage of other SMTP servers. A nice feature to add would be for Mozilla to detect the default domain suffix, and change smtp servers accordingly. For example, if no smtp server is selected, it could default to smtp.<domain prefix>. Or it could easily switch between alternates according to the domain suffix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go home, with my smtp set to <office smtp server> 2. Try to send a message. 3. Actual Results: It won't go through, as my home isp blocks it. Expected Results: Switched to an alternate smtp server that works on this isp.
