[sdw2003] sbcglobal DSL and smtp.west.cox.net Do Da

[Eric A Louie]

Doo-daa - give them a script that adds an entry to their host file

smtp.west.cox.net  your.internal.smtpserver.ipaddress

Set your server's SMTP relay restrictions accordingly

If they're bringing in laptops, they'll need a script that extracts that entry from their host file when they leave the building.

Otherwise, they're stuck with webmail.west.cox.net or you can add Cox High-Speed Internet service to your facility  <:^)

My users who have cox.net ISP have no problems with email other than when
they connect on our ATnT DSL line.

They can receive email but can't send.

I can Prove that the laptop works.
I can prove that COX works.
What I can't understand is why the ATnT DSL Service kills the outgoing
email.

I have talked with ATnT 2nd tier support.  Their only solution is to use
their smtp server and authenticate with them.  I don't need no
workarounds...

Solution Ho...  but I don't have anyone left to call...
