Re: Trouble sending mail

Actually, I did specify an outgoing smtp server, and
that was why I was going nuts.  I had: 

Outgoing SMTP Server: mail.nerdshack.com
SMTP userid (optional): [email protected]

in the setup screen.  Unfortunately it seemed to
ignore the userid.

Well, anyway, the problem has been more or less
solved.  Thanks for the help!
