SBC makes DSL, er, exciting

As some of you might remember from previous columns, I have been involved in getting my son's school online and computerized. A few weeks ago the school called me because their e-mail services had suddenly stopped working: Although they could receive e-mail, no one could send anything. We'd had some previous problems with the server but a simple restart fixed them. No luck this time around. I tried sending and receiving e-mail from the server and it appeared that the POP3 service was running, but the SMTP service wouldn't respond.To this day I do not know why it failed.
