That sounds right. Is that just them or is this a common problem? I've
used four smaller providers in the past and had no problems with relaying 
through another server I was using.

He's thinking about going broadband anyway so maybe this will help. He
didn't want to yet because of the mindspring email addy he's been using.

Thanks a lot.
