email problems


Hello,
I'm posting to see if anyone has had this problem and to try to resolve it.
I run a wireless service with about 60 clients and set it up to just provide basic internet access. There are several nodes on the network with a couple dozen different subnets. Every node is NAT'ed to the gateway as this has made routing easier to deal with.The problem I have is with email (specifcally users who want to use Outlook or Outlook Express to send and receive email). Seems they can receive email fine but can't send. I've often just referred them to some free web based email services but others are a bit more bullheaded. So I guess what I need is some way for these people to send email thru Outlook. This operation is totally a one man show
so the time it takes to research and go thru the trial and error learning curve of providing email services takes away from just keeping the whole network running. So I guess what I'm asking is how do I enable sending email for these people without having to build and maintain some kind of smtp relay. If that's even what I need. Any email guru's out there? I'm certainly not one!

this has nothing to do with your system it is a user problem setting up there none pop email . it is a user problem you have them hooked to the net and transfer packets so it is a user end problem good luck.
