it seems you are right, Dirk. I tried for all three mailservers telnet hostname 25, but didn't get any connection.
For all three i entered a host name, and "send direct" had NO check mark.

Did you configure a fixed smtp server or did you enable direct send? If it's a fixed SMTP server then try (from a command prompt) TELNET <smtp-server> 25 Does that work? Dirk.
