I have a Dlink router as well.....it can send e-mails care of the router, but
it needs the smtp address for your ISP, and it has to be an existent e-maill
address... I have it setup to use my address, and it comes back to me....but
using the ISP address, not my domai.local address.

Hopefully that helps ya out....... (btw...I have the DFL-300)
