If my pop3 client I want to use to send mail is outside of our firewall on the 
internet, then I must access its POP3 port via our proxy.

I am able to use our CERN(generic) proxy just fine to make HTTP connections, but was 
wondering if REBOL was not doing so for POP3

I am using <a href=http://www.netzero.net/support/email/email_setup.html>The settings 
posted at Netzero</a>

and used the following REBOL set-net command:

> set-net [[EMAIL PROTECTED] smtp.netzero.net pop.netzero.net esnproxy 80 generic]
