Shall we test that? ;-)

I have reconfigured to use "smtp.shentel.net"

Here is the smtp.log created by Arachne when I tried to send this
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

----smtp.log---
220 stingray.shentel.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.1/8.11.1; Sat, 3 Feb 2001 23:56:59 
-0500

meet you

I'll now try sending this modified message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it does not go, I'll modify it again to include the new
smtp.log and send this whole thing to the list.
(using mail.cisnet.com for smtp)

Still did not go.
