I must not have stated my problem well. Any email client works fine for me
going through third party mail servers.
*** It is only Rebol that cannot send through some ISP mail servers.
>> send [any_address--hotmail--com] read %test
"User Error: Server error: tcp 550 no local host hotmail.com, not a
gateway."
I have not set anything in Rebol except the name of the ISP's mail server.
I am not running/using a Rebol mail server.
What seems strange is that I can point a mail client like Outlook to the
same ISP mail server & then message will go out without a hitch.
