No, that's not where the problems lie. It's getting the mail from my
machine out through the multiple remote mail servers. I've never had a
POP server balk at cooperating with Fetchmail, but just about all the
mail services by default refuse to talk to SMTP services running on a
home Linux machine. The idea is to get AT&T, for example, to treat my
internal SMTP server as a client. Can I change the way my system mail
server talks to AT&T, or is there a standard mail mover which allows for
this?
