Actually, most ISPs are moving to this model. I've run into it with USWest
and a smaller ISP in Tennessee. As a matter of course, I just tell users to
setup the POP3/IMAP server as our server and the SMTP (outgoing) server as
the SMTP server for their ISP.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] AT&T blocking SMTP port?
Both Mindsprind and AT&T require their ISP clients to use their SMTP
server and no one elses.
That problem will drive you nuts untill you figure out what's going on.
