When I try to send mail from home through stokes to anyone outside of the Math Department, it fails with “relaying denied.” Whats wrong?
There is nothing wrong. It’s working as designed. Our mail server has built-in anti-spam features. These features keep it from being used as a relay for unsolicited email. When you mail from home, you must use your local ISP’s mail server to send outgoing mail (mail.frii.com for frii, for example) . If you don’t know what it is, you should ask your ISP’s technical support. The mail server features do not stop you from picking up your mail via POP or IMAP from the department. Indeed, if you set your home mailer Reply-To: field to your_username@math.colostate.edu, most replies will still go to the math department. But you cannot send mail through the mail server if you aren’t on our network.
