[ale] SMTP question

[Greg Freemyer]

Thanks,

I had already tried 3 different e-mail addresses I have on 2 different
mail servers.  All had failed, so I assumed it was a protocol issue.

Your answer got me to try a forth one.  It worked!!!

It is all very confusing, bur for now I seem to have an answer.

Thanks again,
Greg
