What email account are you using to send the emails? Most ISPs will only allow you to send email with their servers if you are also using their servers for your internet connection. This is unlikely to be the case when you are travelling.

The solution is to use web-based email, if your ISP provides that facility, or a free email account such as gmail/googlemail, yahoo etc.

beyond what midders has said, some ISP's will allow you to change your SMTP settings to allow you to do remote secure access for outlook, but only your ISP at home would know what those settings are. specifically, your isp's secure server port number, and what kind of smtp authentication they use for remote services, if any. you could also contact Qwest and get their smtp server, and switch to it temporarily while you are there, as described here.....
