Sandy,
Many companies lock down (in the firewall) the ports that can be used for
outbound connections almost as much as they lock down ports for inbound
connections.  I'm a consultant and when I take my laptop onto a client
network, I'm usually only guaranteed to have HTTP, POP3 and SMTP (and
sometimes only HTTP) and rarely can I use their servers for SMTP relay, so I
just always use my own.

I think this is the problem he is having, that the firewalls are locking out
most ports and he can only guarantee HTTP is open.  Unfortunately, this is a
growing problem for Nomadic users as companies are taken are more paranoid
approach to network connectivity.

Um, run webmail on a port that's allowed out? :)
