Ah, great minds do settle into the same groove. :)) as you must have
noted from my last message.
env | grep MTS returns nothing, under either wilson or root.
Oh oh, I'm embarrassed. /etc/nmh/mts.conf, owned by root, has mod 600.
I changed it to 644, and removed the -server option from the send
line in .mh_profile-----and send works.
My mistake basically was after originally editing mts.conf as su
I didn't change the permissions so wilson could read it.
Please forgive me for overlooking that. I am very grateful for your
help (may hope to have it again).

Great. So you need to edit your ~/.mh_profile to change send's -port
back to 2525, as it was when you started. You mentioned Verizon being a
problem in the past, and it looks like it still it, blocking your port 25
connection to Eskimo. https://www.eskimo.com/support/mail/mail-settings/
says they support 2525 to workaround this.
Once you've done that, you should find a plain
send -snoop
fails because it tries to connect to localhost's port 2525, but a
send -snoop -server mail.eskimo.com
works. If so, then /etc/nmh/mts.conf's `servers' entry isn't being
obeyed. Either it isn't being read, or its getting trumped by something
else.
Does `env | grep MTS' show anything? There are two environment
variables, MHMTSCONF and MHMTSUSERCONF, that can alter whence the mts.conf
settings are gathered.
