Hang on, does this mean that windows clients are able
to send mail? If so then that means the following
definitely won't help:
Is the company hosting your mail also your old ISP? If
so then they're probably limiting the IP addresses
that are allowed to send mail through that box and now
that you're coming from a different IP it's blocking
you. Or are you getting any helpful error messages
when you try to send?

I think if you can pop then the names are resolving so
probably nothing to do with DNS

Cheers
