This is a client-specific error...so, what client are they using?
Sounds like a very typical M$ error to me... This info helps. Your
problem could be based on IP addresses... What addresses do your staff
get when they dial up, can they ping your mail server, can they telnet
to port 25, can you manually send mail on port 25 when dialed up? If
not, what is the error? This is standard error tracing for mail
problems...
Remember to make sure your dial-up users have access in /etc/tcp.smtp
(if set up as in LWQ).
