Thanks for the tips Noel. My comments/questions follow Hammad Sophie wrote:

Noel responded: Yes. And also quite possibly it is rejecting you a priori because you are sending from a DHCP pool. Hammad new: The address that we've assigned our mail server is a static one. Pacbell gives us 4-5 static addresses which have been registered with DNS to point to our mail server. Hammad old: > What do I need to do to get it running? Noel response: You should find out from pacbell.net which SMTP server you should be using, and just set that into the <gateway> element. Hammad new: What I understand from your response is that I only need to change the gateway element in the config file. Users will still use the currently configured smtp server in outlook etc. as mail.mydomain.com? BTW, I'm using smtp authRequired and have disabled remoteAddrNotInNetwork since we have multiple locations and different isps and some road warriors. Will changing the gateway require changing any of these other settings? Hammad old: > Why does it 'eat up' the error message? Noel response: It is treating it as a temporary error, and queuing it up to retry later. The problem is I never get a failure message. For all I know, the email went through when in reality it never does... :( Thanks once again, Noel.
