I tried that!  They had NO clue about the SMTP filtering.   The filtering
STARTED right after the 'I love you' microsoft virus hit the 'net.   I think
they put  the restriction in place to help filter the email flood.

I think I'll just use the secondary port...or use IPCHAINS to forward to the
correct port.

Thanks!
