Thanks Laurie,
Sure enough once I reconfigured my mac.com account to use their SMTP server
it did go through. I had tried before and then I remembered that when I
signed up for the mac.com account they did not offer SMTP. I can't believe
that mediaone.net (now AT&T) would not have gotten this fixed and I have
written them but have yet to hear back.
This method is less than perfect as the person I was trying to send to
received 4 or 5 pieces of Junk Mail while trying to get mine and it must
have been instituted by her ISP without any notice. If you notice at the
bottom of the ORBL page this system seems to be the part time endeavour of a
one man show.
