Ralph,

New data!

I did your optioned send below, except I used -port 2525 and
it went!

> send -snoop -mts smtp -server mail.eskimo.com -port 2525

I sent to myself and it came around.

So what is the difference between send with no options -- which
still doesn't work, and send optioned as above???

Cheers,
Stewart

P.S. here is the trace from the optioned send:

What now? send -snoop -mts smtp -server mail.eskimo.com -port 2525
