RE: ibm smtp server and relays

I need an ip or name to forward to.

Wouldn't you use the same SMTP server as the desktop clients?

FWIW: Assuming it's approved, I'm hoping to do a session at the COMMON

conference in Reno on email security.

I'll be there!

We are going to press AT&T why we can't do this with current contract.

Some might, but I don't think MOST will.

If the recipient mail server is using a spam scanner such as

SpamAssassin,

using a non-business grade DSL line will certainly raise your spam

score.

As for an edge mail gateway, your best bet would be to deploy a Linux
LPAR running either Postfix or Sendmail. Both are excellent at what
they do.

Or install a Linux machine on a (relatively) inexpensive PC server to

act

as your public / internet facing mail server ... and I completely

agree

with Lukas on Postfix & Sendmail.
