so we are back to the problem where we have to tell your sendmail or exim to send to your school smtp server, right? well i don't really know how to help you there... i would probably try the exim or sendmail config tools and see if you can masquerade and use the school as your smarthost or something like that and then chooes the port also... well, i don't know... or if you're really up to the challenge, i could try to help you set up my program but i don't know if it is worth the trouble because it is still alpha or beta or not really tested, but i'm using it right now atleast!
