Dear Ralph, I tried the optioned send, each time leaving out one of the options. It only failed when I left out -server mail.eskimo.com
So, hoping to be lucky, I added that option to .mh_profile, thus: mhparam send: -port 2525 -alias /home/wilson/.mh_aliases -server mail.eskimo.com Now send -snoop gives Trying to connect to "mail.eskimo.com" ... Connecting to 204.122.16.4:2525... <= 220 mail.eskimo.com ESMTP Postfix => EHLO localhost <= 250-mail.eskimo.com <= 250-PIPELINING <= 250-SIZE 50000000 <= 250-ETRN <= 250-STARTTLS <= 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN <= 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN <= 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES <= 250-8BITMIME <= 250 DSN => MAIL FROM:<wil...@prediction-dynamics.com> <= 250 2.1.0 Ok => RCPT TO:<wil...@eskimo.com> <= 250 2.1.5 Ok => DATA <= 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> => . <= 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 51F00140894 => QUIT <= 221 2.0.0 Bye sw% This is called a successful hack. But what is really going on? You proposed that mts.conf was not being read. Could that still be the case? Stewart -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
