My emails won't send via the 4g connection unless I turn on my VPN.

My ability to send emails via domains (not Gmail etc) suddenly stopped. However from another site (and internet connection) they send fine. Having checked Outlook, router etc I can't find out why it suddenly stopped. The only difference appears to be my EE connection. Turning on my VPN however allows me to send these emails.

Any thoughts?,

Who is your email provider? What have you put as the Outgoing Server settings (all of them) in your Mail app, obscuring your name?
