Please check the message recipient....  

started suddenly - was working fine a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

Sending from webmail does not use SMTP server so trying to compare the 2 is meaningless. You need to find out what the correct SMTP server settings for your provider and make any needed changes. Wild guess is the authentication settings need updating.
