The problem isn't reva.xtrmeunix.com. - It's you.    :)

When you swap around networks, you have to change your outgoing
mailserver to use the mailserver for the network that you're on. This
is a common problem on laptops, for example. Connecting from office or
home means using a different mailserver.

How you do the change depends on what software you're using.
Your tech department might be able to set up an automated solution for
you, to save you tinkering with SMTP setup every time you move.
