Since connecting to Roadrunner I can no longer send all my mail, regardless of the return address, through my old mindspring SMTP outgoing mail server and Roadrunner won't forward mail from e-mail addresses other than xx.rr.com.

Actually, this is not true.  I've been using my MindSpring account for
two years now on RR, and have had no problem.  I've used Netscape, Pine,

with no errors.

What mail client are you using?
