   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,
