If you have a mail.umd.edu account, you can use mail.umd.edu as your SMTP server provided you authenticate with your directory username and password. [1] I wasn't sure if this would let you send mail from off campus, but I just tried it and it seems to work (sent mail to my gmail account through mail.umd.edu from a box an ISP). I'm not sure if this is by design, though. -David [1] http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/documents/4/4573/
