We can send mail locally using Eudora but can't receive mail externally 
from other parts of the net. For example we can receive mail from other
systems when we say ernest@[204.31.29.100] but not when we send it 
ernest@mail.aristosoft.com. We have verified that mail.aristosoft.com 
pings properly, so it's not the providers problem. So it must have 
something to do with the way SMTP is configured. Are there any docs on 
this? Anyone run into the same problem? 

This is the logfile after we send from our account on aol.
