Hi, Bill! I don't know if my solution will work for you but I'll make it available for your consideration. Here, postfix is on the main server/workstation. Since Frontier Communications bought the Verizon Northwest land line business they stopped supporting static IP addresses; some times they change my DHCP-issued IP address 40 times overnight. So now all my outgoing mail must be relayed through the SMTP server at my ISP instead of going directly toward the recipient. But, it's made no difference in remotely sending mail from my laptop when I'm traveling. I use ssh to remotely log in on my server, then open alpine in a virtual console, and read/write messages using this MUA. When a message is sent it is from my main server to the ISP and gets to the addressee with no more hassle than if I was sitting at my desk in the office. I'm sure it would work equally well if you use a GUI MUA on your office server.
