Why can't I send email using my mail client (Windows Live Mail / Outlook Express / Thunderbird / etc.)?
SMTP is blocked to restrict spammers from sending email from our public WiFi networks. Any issues with spam coming from our networks could result in the City being blacklisted by major email hosts such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, MSN Mail, etc. You can send email through a web browser as an alternative.
