How is this done? I take it there is a switch for it...?

*Everybody* says that =) But I am using IMAP, and as far as I know AT&T
has the entire 12. class A... unless there are some major spammers at
AT&T, I should be okay...
I know that sounds really dumb. Has anybody got a better idea? I'm open.
If I knew the exact address ranges of above person's dialup I would be
able to narrow it down significantly, but I have no real way of
determining this - and AT&T is unlikely to be very cooperative, given
their decision to close all internal to external SMTP traffic.
