Which means in general, that you cannot use the physics server as your outgoing mail server unless you are connected to the Syracuse University domain.
What other routes do you have? In most cases, you can use your internet provider mail server, while still "acting" like the mail is coming from where-ever you specify.
It may be a little
confusing, so if you have any questions, email

Setting your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) email server
If you are using Netscape
Messenger for mail, the capture below shows where you would change your
outgoing
mail server.
Your incoming mail
server should remain the same. If you are using Road Runner, their
email server is: SMTP-server.twcny.rr.com
If you are using
a different internet provider, you should consult that company's support
for the correct address.
I'm sorry if this
becomes an inconvienence, but it has become a necessary evil, and almost
all servers are moving this way.
If left open, unscrupulous
internet users exploit our server by using it to send thousands of commercial
junk mail (spam).
Because of the widespread
problem of mail servers being left open, there is an organization that
maintains a database of "insecure mailservers". Once listed in that
database, many sites will block email from that entire domain, making
the changes in our policy necessary.
PS- If you ssh or telnet into the server and use pine, that is considered "within SU", so the limitations shouldn't apply.
