Ralph, Here's the result of send -snoop -mts smtp -server mail.eskimo.com -port 25
Trying to connect to "mail.eskimo.com" ... Connecting to 204.122.16.4:25... Connection failed: Connection timed out post: problem initializing server; [BHST] Connection to "mail.eskimo.com" failed: Connection timed out send: message not delivered to anyone > Was it the same directory that `mhparam etcdir' shows? Yes, /etc/nmh. But I edited it as shown in the mts.conf that I attached in the last message. Sorry I'm so slow. Now I'm just writing and replying on Eskimo's site. Also, nmh is great but very complicated. Lisp is much easier!! :) Looks like we are getting farther though, re the above error message. Please tell me your interpretation.
