<snip>One way to set the 400 up to send is detailed on my web-site,
http://www.ways.demon.co.uk </snip>

My SMTP configuration is just short of being complete. I have a couple of
concerns that might be easily answered here...

1> When I "CHGDSTA SMTPRTE(INTERNET GATEWAY)", will I be opening any
security holes? Can I undo the change by simply clearing those entries?

2> I don't have a direct connection to the Internet, I go through Exchange
Server (which checks email every 15 minutes). Is there a value I need to
specify somewhere that tells the 400 how to "route" through my Exchange
Server? Note: On the CHGTCPDMN (Change TCP/IP Domain) screen, I specified
HOSTNAME('S1039433') DMNNAME('carefreeofcolorado.com') and
INETADR(199.157.46.1) (which is my ISP's DNS). Will this work without being
directly connected? Should I (how do I) set my 400 as the DNS?

TIA! - Steve
