If that site blocks me on sending from port 25, then I can either VPN to my servers, or send to the submission port. Worst case I plug in the CDMA card and send that way. Or log into the webmail system and use that. Some of my users roam all over the USA, and since they are exec's, I have to make sure that they can send and receive their mail. If not, I get a personal long distance a$$-chewing if I can't resolve it quickly. "There is more than one way to skin a cat... but none that the cat will like!" -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
