You have an email account with another email service provider (not your ISP). You want outgoing mails to appear to come from your other account, but you want to use your ISP's mail gateway to send the mail. You must use your ISP's mail gateway, because you are not permanently connected to the Internet. Your ISP does not allow relay - i.e. only mail coming from or going to an email address in your ISP's domain will be allowed through their gateway. </snip> Consider this case: My home machine uses dishnet (ISP). I have exim (SMTP) installed in my machine. I have configured exim to queue all mails till I connect net. I can send mails with any ID in the From:. For eg: I am subscribed to ILUG-Mumbai with my gmx.net ID. But I am connected with Dishnet. So I have to use my @eth.net ID to send mails thru their SMTP. But if I send a mail with that ID the mailing list will bounce it. In the above said case I am able to send mails thru my local SMTP with a From ID I choose. Regards -- .''`. Dileep M.
