[ale] Why won't IP e-mail address go through BS?

[Mike Millson]

Ben,

Good thought, but I guess BS knows that trick. I got a reject with a
"Relaying denied" error.

I did a reverse lookup on your ip, 216.77.224.98, and came up with
adsl-77-224-98.atl.bellsouth.net.  So maybe you should try sending email
to mgm at adsl-77-224-98.atl.bellsouth.net
