I had a similar situation at home with Compuserve.  When we got DSL
installed, Compuserve would no longer accept my email coming from a
client with a verizon.net address.  I had to use verizon as the relay.
Perversely, email I send from home from my Compuserve account has to
go through verizon.net.  Verizon happily sends the email out although
it has nnn . nnn @ compuserve . com as the from address.  Verizon acts
as a relay for its customers (those who's clients have a verizon.net
address.)

Outlook Express shows the incoming mail server (POP3) as
pop.compuserve.com, whilst the outgoing mail server (SMTP) is
outgoing.verizon.net.
