Typically such users (work and home laptop toters) already, or would, have two mail accounts configured in their mail client because they're probably already piping their personal mail through their home ISP and running biz mail through your server when they can get to it (and running it through the home ISP when they can't). All they have to do is set 'Server Requires Auth' on the mail account that's configured for your server...what they do with their ISP mail account settings is between them and their ISP. Those that can reach your server from outside still would use it.

Which is the nature of my question. Client A uses their notebook in the office connected to the 'Net via DSL, T1 (whatever) and connect to us for SMTP and has SMTP Auth configured in that piece of crap called Outlook. They know if they take the notebook home and connected it to their Cox connection they have to change the SMTP server from us to Cox to be able to send mail. Are they also going to need to turn off SMTP Auth? >And if I may suggest: Do this as soon as you possibly can, and count >yourself extremely lucky you haven't been compromised or blacklisted >by the community as an open relay.
