'mail' uses the 'sendmail' program, which is either a copy of
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail or a link to it. If you're on a *BSD system,
it may be hooked up through /etc/mail/mailer.conf. The Sendmail
version of 'sendmail' and the clones that all of the other MTAs have
written interact with the mail queue directly. They do not send the
mail using SMTP. So you might be perfectly able to use the 'sendmail'
program ('mail' does so on your behalf) and still not be able to use
SMTP.
TMDA, on the other hand, sends using SMTP. It may be blocked. Try
the following to test this.
Set the OUTGOINGMAIL variable in your config file. If you already
have this variable set, make sure it is "sendmail" and *not* "smtp".
OUTGOINGMAIL = "sendmail"

Ok, sounds good. Perhaps the above changes to your settings will get
us somewhere.
