Suddenlink Server for 3rd Party Email
If you're one of the thousands of Suddenlink subscribers currently wallowing in the mess of switching your email address from Cox, and you also want to be able to send email via Suddenlink using a non-Suddenlink email address, AND you haven't been able to get a response from Suddenlink about how to configure your mail program to accomplish this, here are the instructions I got from them a mere two weeks after submitting the question:
The outgoing server information for third party emails are the following :
mail.tyler.net
does not required authentication
That last line is important, as Suddenlink's regular SMTP server does require authentication.
Now, having provided this information, I have to admit that I'm not sure why it's needed, as I've been able to send email without a hitch using via my ericsiegmund.com address and Suddenlink's regular outgoing mail server. But if you're having problems with a similar arrangement on your system, perhaps this will help. YMMV.
