[TriLUG] location-specific SMTP problem

[Chris Merrill]

I mentioned that he said can send via other SMTP mail servers on port 25.
Therefore, I had ruled out port 25 blocking.

But I went back to double check his settings, and they were NOT configured
to use port 25 as he reported.  They were set to "Default (25, 465, 587)"!

I told him to go home and force his mail client to send email via the other
server (GMail) using port 25.  If it fails with that other server on 25,
then we will have found the problem.

I'll report back tomorrow :)

Thanks!
Chris
