[Tfug] SMTP from cox..

[Mike Morrell]

Hi Jeremy,

   Why not just use SSH to tunnel SMTP from home to your university 
box?  You want to use your university email but  send from home right?  
If you can run Outlook at home (whether in windows or in Linux with 
codeweavers) you could even tunnel the exchange ports.  Is your 
university box running Linux?

My understanding is that COX had been blocking most of port 25 for a long time, but they allowed connections to university domains up until this morning. Argg! Now they recommend using the cox smtp server, but I find that if I set my reply-to/from address to my university address, many recipients don't get my email (possibly some filter that sees mismatched reply-to/from and originating domain???).
