Chris,

If you have a trilug shell account, you can specify mail.trilug.org
(port 25, Always use SSL, authenticate with your username/password)
as your outgoing mail server.  That way, your mail client will connect
to the trilug mail server and the trilug mail server will relay for
you (assuming you authenticate correctly).  That way you wouldn't need
to use either your boss's server or road runner's.

But, in order to get a trilug shell account, you must be a member.

Cheers,
