Laptop mobile users cannot use their home SMTP server.
Depends on the configuration of the SMTP server and the mail server & client running on the laptop. With SMTPAUTH and/or TLSSMTP, and using a different (unfiltered) port, this shouldn't be a problem.
In other words, by blocking output SMTP, mobile users are hurt badly.
Can be. Yup. Think of all the iPass and GRiC customers who don't even know who the local provider is that they're dialing up, so that they can get a network connection?
I know that *I* certainly am. Constantly and serously.
I'm very sorry to hear this. Maybe we can help you get SMTPAUTH and/or TLSSMTP set up on your server and/or client? -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
