Yep. The problem is on your end.  Cox isn't doing anything weird. SMTP is a=

I have my problems with this decision but they are not technical issues.

The phone tech is clueless.  Look at your full headers. the answers are in=

they. I assure you that 192.168.x.x is not how the mail serves=20

server correctly, you should make the mail server's hostname the same as th=

reverse lookup on your Cox IP.  And that's regardless of whether or not you=

have to use cox's smtp server as a relayhost.
