Ralph,
Here's the result of
send -snoop -mts smtp -server mail.eskimo.com -port 25
Trying to connect to "mail.eskimo.com" ...
Connecting to 204.122.16.4:25...
Connection failed: Connection timed out
post: problem initializing server; [BHST] Connection to "mail.eskimo.com"
failed: Connection timed out
send: message not delivered to anyone
Was it the same directory that `mhparam etcdir' shows?
Yes, /etc/nmh. But I edited it as shown in the mts.conf that I attached
in the last message.
Sorry I'm so slow. Now I'm just writing and replying on Eskimo's site.
Also, nmh is great but very complicated. Lisp is much easier!! :)
Looks like we are getting farther though, re the above error message.
Please tell me your interpretation.
Best,
Stewart

Hi Stewart,
The previous nmh was 1.4
That's a big jump. If you haven't already seen it, then the list of
per-release changes in NEWS could be useful.
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/tree/NEWS
I changed the port to 25 from 2525, but the connection there was also
refused. I left it at 25. mhparam now shows: -port 25 -alias
/home/wilson/.mh_aliases
I'm attaching mts.conf.
Where did you find that?
Was it the same directory that `mhparam etcdir' shows?
mts: smtp
...
servers: mail.eskimo.com
That suggests to me that nmh will try to talk SMTP to mail.eskimo.com to
send the email,
Also .mh_profile
...
send: -port 25 -alias /home/wilson/.mh_aliases
and that it will connect on port 25, the standard SMTP port. I can
connect from here.
$ nc mail.eskimo.com 25
220 mail.eskimo.com ESMTP Postfix
quit 221 2.0.0 Bye
^D
$
But your original email to the list showed attempts to connect to
localhost.
What now? send -snoop
Trying to connect to "localhost" ...
Connecting to ::1:2525...
Connection failed: Connection refused
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2525...
Connection failed: Connection refused
so I'm thinking mts.conf isn't being found.
At the `What now?' prompt, try
send -snoop -mts smtp -server mail.eskimo.com -port 25
and we'll see if that gets further.
