Subject: Re: Question on smtp and relaying

Let me clarify this a little better with an example of what I mean.
I sit here at work and try to mail aklug from my evolution mta with my
home domain as the smtp server. I get denied when I try that because I
am on another domain outside of my own, but when I put mail.gci.net as
my smtp server it sends just fine.
And after writing this out I am wondering is it because I am inside of
gci's network and if I were a network unto myself such as gci, I
wouldn't have this problem, is that right?
