On some mail clients, but not YAM, if you just stick "mail" into the
server configuration, they automatically try appending the ISP domain name
to the server name (i.e. mail.domain.com). Perhaps if you try replacing
"mail," with what the complete mail server name might be, that might help?
Though it is possible that they've called their mail server just "mail"
Personally, I wish that mail programs could accept variables in their
server configurations, then I could set Miami up to set a variable in a
dial script, perhaps; so that when I called my different ISPs, the SMTP
server would always be the one for the ISP I actually dialled up, without
having to re-configure YAM.
