I'm running qmail as my mail server, running POP3 and SMTP. Because I occasionally travel on business, I have an address specifically for remote access. When I leave, I set up my normal accounts to copy to my "travel account." I access the account from my laptop. The laptop is sometimes plugged into a network and sometimes connected via a dial-up connection. IP is, of course, variable and unpredictable. I can receive mail just fine but, since I certainly don't want to host an open relay, I can't send mail from my laptop. My current work-around is to ssh into my server and send email via mutt. I'd prefer, however, to be able to send email from my normal email client.
Is there a ready solution to this? Perhaps a modified SMTP setup where access is controlled via a password? I know that this breaks compatibility with standard protocols, but I have no problem installing custom client and server software if necessary or whatever hacks are necessary to make this work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
