That's very helpful! Thank you!

One clarification: Can these users relay through that host, using SMTP AUTH, from anywhere, or only from within your network? I observe, for instance, that the instructions for Outlook 2000 (Windows) does not have them check "my [outgoing SMTP] server requires authentication".

If the former, great! I'll inform my affected customers. If the latter, they'll have to fool with settings as they move around -- which you no doubt already know is asking too much of 99% of the population. :slight_smile:

According to a message posted to one of the EL support newsgroups a
while back, they run a separate SMTP AUTH mail server that will work as
you describe. It's not the same server that customers use from an EL
line, however.

I haven't actually used this server. I also don't know if it's a
permenant thing or if it's just an experiment at this time.
