Email works perfectly at home. On the road using hotel wifi we receive mail but can not send. Help

What is the reason mail works perfectly at home but will not send from hotel room wifi?

It probably has something to do with the hotel's wi-fi setup and your mail provider will not allow what is called relaying. Can you send mail when on cellular data outside of home? Many years ago, Comcast mail was like that and you could not access mail when not on their network. I suggest contacting your email provider and ask them about sending mail from another network. It may be a security (SSL) issue.
