Dusty - just following up...
How would my clients configure to use Mindspring's mail server?
Suppose I have a client whose domain is acme.com
They have a POP account of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How would they configure to send through Mindspring instead
of us? For example, in Eudora, would they just change their
SMTP server to Mindspring?
I'm assuming that is how it is done... but then here's the rub...
They are sending through Mindspring using the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Mindspring has no idea who [EMAIL PROTECTED] is. Are they going to block this?
Thanks
Chris
