So, if that is the case then I should be able to relaty through them since that is my source of POP3. So does the relay have to happen in conjunction with a POP3 retrieval .... Any one know how that is setup? Maybe the messages from a staight on attempt to relay will provide a clue. Couldn't think of a way to get more verbose stuff since telnet is disabled: bsd > cat .bashrc|mail -v -s"TESTnewsguySMTP" reader@newsguy.com reader@newsguy.com...
