Sorry for jumping in here, but I'm not sure I understand what you send. Do you mean that, to send mail to an sbcglobal.net mail address, i have to train my server to act differently than it does to the gazillion other addys on the net? Or, is he (somehow) an sbcglobal subscriber, and he's trying to get outside? That doesn't seem to be his issue. Sbcglobal certainly isn't blocking me: # telnet sbcmx1.prodigy.net 25 Trying 207.115.21.20... Connected to sbcmx1.prodigy.net.
