Paul,

Can you use your SMTP agent to make mails manually?

I'm lazy and old fashioned, try telnet'ing on port 25 and follow this:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5.20060308/8.13.5/Debian-3ubuntu1.1;
Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:15:30 -0500; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from:
localhost(OK)-localhost [127.0.0.1]
helo me
250 localhost Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
mail from: <>
250 2.1.0 <>... Sender ok
rcpt to: paulehr at gmail.com
250 2.1.5 paulehr at gmail.com... Recipient ok
data

.
250 2.0.0 l0R0FUx5001380 Message accepted for delivery
quit
221 2.0.0 localhost closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
