The solution is a to find an ISP that offers full Internet access.
If GTE blocks port 25 (which isn't a bad thing, by the way), but can't override it for
you, they don't offer full Internet access.

Thanks Kevin and Dan,
It appears that GTE does in fact block me from sending e-mail out. I thought if I
had my pop3 and SMTP setting for my server it would not even go thru GTE's, but it
appears I was incorrect.
How do others get around this? I can not send out gte.net becuase they stop that
as well. Currently my only solution is to use my gte.net account as my reply to
address and I DON'T want to do that.
Or I guess I just rely on Good Old Web Messaging still. That is what I have used
for the past year, but I wanted to pull this all into my E-Mail client on my PC.
Thanks,
Grant Griffith
