Roadrunner's local SMTP server (smtp-server.nc.rr.com) is configured to 
use username:password authentication.  No matter where you are on the 
network, you should be able to send outbound messages by configuring my 
mail client to use auth, setting your username (mail account PID), and 
responding to the password challenge when you send the first message in 
a mail client session.

Client support and behavior will, naturally, vary.  I've used this setup 
with NC 4.7x and Moz 0.9.5 mail, and it works just fine.  This assuming 
that their servers are alive and responding...
