Hi, Sorry for being a bit off topic here but it's for a good causee. Thanks in advance,
I manage a Gentoo machine for my dad who is in his 80's now. He's not the least bit Linux literate but likes Gnome and has used Gentoo as a user only for about 5-6 years now. He has just started switching from Time-Warner's Roadrunner cable modem service to Verizon's FIOS. His new link is up and his speed is very nice. (20Mb/S downlaod, 5Mb/S upload using Speakeasy.net to test.) The issue he is running into is that Roadrunner's SMTP server is not allowing him to send email, presumably because he's not on one of their IP address. Anyway, he's thinking I need to convert him over to a Verizon email address but I was thinking that if he could continue using Evolution but send and receive through GMail it would be a better long term solution. Is this a good idea and more importantly is this possible? What sort of issues will I have managing this for him. Thanks, Mark
