I have several users who connect to our mail server from an IP in the

I see that outbound SMTP traffic is proxied through AOL servers to our mail

We had users who SMTP AUTH relay through us from AOL dsl lines suddenly have
problems this week. Switching them to the submission port (587) has solved
things so far.
