The nice people at Fido now admit they are changing their web platform and
broke the current gprs.fido.ca for smtp mail outbound.

They are in no hurry to fix, suggesting it might be up again somewhere
between 16Feb and 6Mar.

I have setup another smtp service for my treo so I no longer care if they
ever get this fixed but for those with this issue, good luck.

Interesting. I just tried sending myself an email from my handset and it
worked.

Normally, messages would be coming from Aegis.fido.ca, and my handset IP
would be in the 205.205 range.

Received: from leda.fido.ca (204.92.15.224)
    by chain.vixenation.ca (V5.6-9, OpenVMS V8.3 Alpha);
    Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:47:06 -0500 (EST)
Received: from localhost (unknown [205.151.11.254])
    by gprs.fido.ca (Fido GPRS SMTP Gateway) with ESMTP id 7DF532C8C6
    for <jfpezei@vixenation.ca>; Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:41:05 -0500 (EST)

The 205.151 range belongs to:

OrgName: MicroCell 1-2-1 Inc
OrgID: MICROC-15
Address: 1 Place Ville Marie; Suite 2228
City: Montreal
StateProv: Quebec
PostalCode: H3B 3M4
Country: CA

The 205.205 range belonged to a defunct company (Metrix Interlink) now part
of UUnet.
