Note: Some Internet providers are now blocking outgoing port 25 if you don't have mail service through them. Specifically, AT&T will not allow you to send e-mail through port 25 if you don't have mail service with them or don't upgrade your account to a business account. If they do have mail service through them, try using the provider's outgoing mail settings for sending from the WebBuilder Mail account. If they do not have mail service, they would need to contact them about either opening up port 25 or providing them with another solution.
