ATT forces the user through ATT server, from an ATT ip address, can watch
excessively high sending rates. I would really be surprised if ATT would
block outgoing "MAIL FROM: sender@senderdomain" that didn't match exactly
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". That would be excessfully restrictive, but
maybe ATT's legal beagles are outta control.

Well, he just creates two LookOut accounts, one for sending through ATT
from home, one for sending through the office server.
