I'm curious about the above statement, since I use submission/POP3 to Algonquin College for my "alleni [ at ] algonquincollege [ dot ] com" email and the domain name I use is a generic Microsoft domain both ways. uOttawa can't block POP3/IMAP since they can't block the port on the Microsoft domain, but maybe they can disallow authentication once connected? (But then how does "Exchange" authenticate?) To send College email I (using postfix) connect to the "submission" port (597) at outlook.office365.com and log in using my Algonquin email address. I gather uOttawa won't let you log in? The "From:" field on any email I send has to match my Algonquin email address or else the message is rejected. Whatever name text I use on the From: line is replaced with the College standard "Ian Allen". To receive email (using fetchmail) I connect to the POP3 port at outlook.office365.com and log in using my Algonquin email address.

Yes, when Algonquin used in-house email and blocked POP3/IMAP, I used to forward all Algonquin email to another machine that did allow POP3. Once Algonquin moved to Office 365, POP3 came with it, so I stopped forwarding. Have you tried POP3 to outlook.office365.com ? I used to send official College email from my usual mail host, but with the "From:" line set to my College email address and the "Reply-to:" line set to idallen [ at ] idallen [ dot ] ca. That started going into spam folders this month, so I started using the College "submission" port instead. I use a "mutt" send-hook to rewrite my "From:" address whenever any recipients are at the College, and a postfix transport map to send any email destined to the College into the College submission port. -- | Ian!
