This has little to do with Emacs, but: have you tried to _fetch_ your mail from earthlink before your send experiment? Many ISPs use the so-called POP before SMTP mechanism for authentication. The idea is that when you fetch (with POP or IMAP) you have to authenticate with a password. The server remembers the IP from which you fetched, and if a send is attempted within a time window (maybe 10 min.) from the same IP it assumes it's the same person, which is known to be a customer. Some ISPs also implement proper SMTP authentication, at last. Gmail is one of those. I recommend switching to one of them at least for mail (see my address). -- A true pessimist won't be discouraged by a little success.
