Hi Paul,
Well, you probably could although I haven't tried it.
As for their servers, I found info on the earthlink servers on their
support page and did a search for smtp servers as I recall.

Hi, Don. I wonder if you could set up the authentication smtp server and
just leave it there for home or on the road network use? Otherwise, you'd
have to remember what that smtp server was and make the change each time
you dialed in from a network on the road.
I will have to call sbc and see if they have an smtp authentication server
address.
Hopefully, I will get someone who knows what I am talking about. Every time
you mention network to one of those sbc guys they tell you they aren't
licensed to help you with your network problems.
Funny; since you can pay a bit more and they will network your computers in
your house for you.
