Apparently, when anyone is connected to AOL, AOL overrides any SMTP settings the user has. Below are headers from a client of mine that was sent to me using a pop account on our server, with the SMTP in OE set to our server: Return-Path: Received: from jwebmedia.com (jwebmedia.com [xxxxxxxx]) by mx02.gvl-priv.sys.nuvox.net (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h9TI0n1g014654; Wed, 29 Oct 2003 13:00:49 -0500 Received: from rly-ip05.mx.aol.com (rly-ip05.mx.aol.com [64.12.138.9]) by jwebmedia.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id h9TI06wB022831; Wed, 29 Oct 2003 12:00:14 -0600 (CST) (envelope-from xxxxxxxxx) Received: from logs-ntc-tj.proxy.aol.com (logs-ntc-tj.proxy.aol.com [198.81.20.131]) by rly-ip05.mx.aol.com (v95.1) with ESMTP id RELAYIN2-33fa0003836e; Wed, 29 Oct 2003 13:00:24 2000 Received: from xxx (ACC7A07C.ipt.aol.com [172.199.160.124]) by logs-ntc-tj.proxy.aol.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) with SMTP id h9THuWfJ006805; Wed, 29 Oct 2003 17:56:34 GMT Message-ID: <000c01c39e45$fc4099d0$7ca0c7ac@SRI> From: xxxxxxxxxxx To: "Joseph Koenig" Cc: xxxxxxxxxx Subject: server check Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 11:56:30 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0009_01C39E13.B09025F0" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 X-Apparently-From: xxxxxxxxxxx X-AOL-IP: 198.81.20.131 Status: Has anyone else seen this before?
