vmail question 3

Using QNX 4.25E, TCP/IP 5.0 and vmail 2.02 dated May 24, 2000

FIrst, I am able to send and receive newsgroup posts and I am able to receive e-mail. But when I try to send e-mail I get a pop-up warning that reads:

Error Sending Mail

What is mis-configured in sending e-mail?

Well, I guess I figured this one out.

I was trying to use my Earthlink e-mail address from a computer that is not directly connected to Earthlink.

Now I’m trying a different e-mail server and I’m getting the following results.

What does this mean?
