Your isp tech support is in another time zone. Across a big body of
water. They do not understand your questions, even if they are class
101 email questions.
How do you send email? Using dns or a smarthost? Earthlink now has a
server called smtpauth.earthlink.net. You need to enter a user name
and password to send mail through it. I think they may be turning off
their old servers. Some ADSL services they provide may have a static
ip but not be a commercial account. They deny you the opportunity to
use dns smtp delivery. You can only send to their mail servers.
Zone edit offers good free dns hosting. I have had to transfer dns for
domains to zone edit when the isp was incapable of understanding a
simple A record question.
