Yeah, your suggestion was close I guess. It's working now. I suppose 
what happened is that Thunderbird was misconfigured (i.e. set to use 
START/TLS) and I had already tried connecting with that. And it must 
have hogged up the connection. So with a restart of mis (and I also set 
dupe IP's to 3 for now) it worked. Yay!

BTW: What are the correct settings for the SMTP connection? Does the 
SMTP server support any of the security protocols, or should it be set 
none and plain text pass word?

Thank you,
