I'm pretty sure we discussed this before.  But you can do this by setting up
the MAILROUTER(xxxxx) and FIREWALL(*YES) attributes of SMTP.

With MAILROUTER('outgoing.verizon.net') and FIREWALL(*YES) configured, your
iSeries will no longer attemp to deliever the mail itself.  Instead it will
pass it along to the Verizon server to be delivered. 

But, like I said, I thought we'd tried this already and the Centennial
phones still wouldn't take it.
