Okay, duh. You learn something new every day. For some reason I was
under the impression that SBC would only allow mail with an
sbcglobal.net From address. Wrong. I set up a smart_route router and
it works fine. And the really good news is that mail gets through to
Hotmail now, so that's the answer.
Thanks for hitting me with the clue stick, Suresh.
