Be careful changing this. I would think it might help. But if you try to 
forward it to
your ISP, unless they have you setup to relay from your DLS ip address (which 
needs to be
static) it will be rejected. It works from other clients because they sign in 
before you
send email to prove you can use the server. I have not found a way for an AS400 
to sign
in. I looked at getting some software I was doing to sign in, not as easy as 
you would
think for some mail servers.
