It > worked fine w/ the Verizon ADSL (Non PPPoE). They most likely filter out port 25 except to their server. Same thing happens here. Set up sendmail (or your MTA if it's not sendmail) to relay all messages through your isp's mail server. with sendmail, uncomment and edit the second line below in /etc/mail/.mc dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') then 'make cf restart' in the same directory. if /etc/mail/.mc doesn't exist yet, run 'make cf' first, and then run the above steps.
