Just tested this and it works (of course Murphy made sure that port 25
was also happily working tonight).

I'll probably have to look into one more thing since I think most of
the time I'm having problems seems to be on my laptop at the office.

Worse come to worst, I guess I will just have to go back to using TOR
with the domain's webmail. Been trying to avoid this since web mail is
typically snail paced and going through TOR means additional latency
plus pointless html traffic for the onion network.
