In the BX e-mail settings, check-mark the boxes to turn on
"SMTP-Auth" and "Submission Port". <br>
<br>
SMTP-Auth requires Thunderbird to authenticate before it will
accept e-mail for relaying. By default, it uses the same
username/password as the POP connection, so no additional
username/passwords have to be added to Thunderbird.
<br>
<br>
Submission Port in the BX sets it to listen on TCP Port 587. This
gets around the common blockage of TCP Port 25. And it is easily
configured in Thunderbird - just go into the "Account Settings",
"Outgoing Server Settings", and tell it to use port 587.
<br>
<br>
Between those two settings - your users will be able to connect
back to their server from anywhere and relay outgoing e-mail. We
do it for many business customers who either don't use us for
their Internet connectivity (which means their IPs are not in our
BX's allowed networks for relaying), or have customers that
travel. In either case - this works beautifully, whether they are
using Thunderbird or M$ Outlook.

Thanks Chuck - sounds like I'm on the right track. I'll give that a
test. <br>
