Accessing POP for mail from different dialup?

[Bish]

Having an email problem I was hoping to get some help with. Have a DSL provider that hosts our webpage and mail servers. They ONLY provide DSL connections and no dialup. Was using earthlink for remote users to access/send email. This past week, earthlink started preventing sending email through them to another POP for anti-spam reasons. We cannot now send email via dialup.

Questions.

Does anybody know of a reliable dialup provider that allows you to send via a diferent POP?

Does anybody know a way around this protection?

Any alternative suggestions besides using their lame web-based email?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using Sprint to dial-up simply set your email app to use the sprint SMTP server to send mail. Set everything else up for your other account. (return address, pop server, etc.)

Maybe I'm misreading the question. If so, let me know.

Best of luck to you.

Not using Sprint but I did try your suggestion and voila it workd great. Thanks for the help. I love it when the solutions are super easy. I didn't realize that you could do this. Thanks again.

What about people who get/send mail via dialup AND a corporate LAN? For example, my company has many laptop users who are sometimes in the office, and sometimes on the road. They use Earthlink for local dialup numbers and raw internet access only; their e-mail (Outlook) is pointed to our private e-mail server which is accessible on the internet.

Since our users can't use mail.earthlink.net for SMTP when at work (I've tried it; AFAIK it only works via Earthlink's dialup), here's an idea:

1) In Outlook, leave the outgoing/SMTP mail server (our company server) name alone, but change our users' IMAP SMTP Transport port from 25 to 26 (or another open port).

2) Setup our corporate mail server to accept authenticated traffic on 26 (or whatever) and map it to 25.

Thoughts?
