ABOUT MX LOOKUP This test will list MX records for a domain in priority order. The MX lookup is done directly against the domain's authoritative name server, so changes to MX Records should show up instantly. You can click Diagnostics, which will connect to the mail server, verify reverse DNS records, perform a simple Open Relay check and measure response time performance. You may also check each MX record (IP Address) against 147 DNS based blacklists. (Commonly called RBLs, DNSBLs)

Just an ongoing solution using PocoMail for bellsouth as well other IP's. Referrence's on incoming and outgoing server type authentications. Using a Login with password and username on the outgoing server while accessing the IP bellsouth.net will subject the user to a error: 502 Command is locally disabled. Fix is to let the wizard set up the first account using your main IP connection and not re-editing the ini and account file in your PocoMail folder to authenticate the outgoing server to a "Login" with username and password. Should be set to "Plain" without any username or password, just the outgoing server which is> mail.bellsouth.net.
