[ale] Still dealing with Nextel

[Robert L. Harris]

  Ok, I'm still arguing with nextel about emailing to their messaging
servers.  Talking to their techs is along the lines of explaining
nuclear fusion t a chicken I've surmised.

  I'm trying to narrow down the argument here as much as possible.

The scenario:
  From my office I can email to <phone>@messaging.nextel.com and get a
    page within 2 mins
  From my home (*.rdlg.net) any email to messaging.nextel.com times out
    and is never deleivered.

  I've been told to email to paging.nextel.com instead, but see'ing as
    it has the same MX servers there's not much difference.  Telnet to
    port 25 on the MX connects from my office but not from home.  (At this
    point I'm told they don't use telnet to send messages, they use an email
    to SMS gateway...  BAWK!!!!)

  I've tested with my firewall completely dropped, no change in
    behavior.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?  It's become one of those fights I
just can't give up as it's now a matter of principle...

Robert
