Hi Gang:

Thanks to  Bill & George, we  have been  burning the wires and midnight oil 
for the past week and a half.
All of a  sudden, I could not send to ITTY.
Bill finally got it fixed  yesterday.

Here is a sample of the  info:
------------------------------------------
Many ISPs are blocking  what is called "Port 25" which is the port used to 
send e-mail. They are doing  this to cut down on the amount of spam that is 
sent from their networks.
All  e-mail sent via the Internet is routed through the port 25, the 
channel used for  communication between an e-mail client and an e-mail server. 
Even though port 25  blocking will probably become an industry standard, 
however, the filter can  create problems for e-mail servers and block legitimate 
e-mail as well as  spam.
Port 25 blocking allows ISPs to block spam sent out through their  
networks, but it tends to punish the innocent that have a need to send through  
e-mail servers other than those belonging to their ISP. The ISPs that block port 
 25 require their SMTP server to be used instead of the remote SMTP server 
or a  SMTP server running on your  computer.
---------------------------------------------------
SOOOOOOO-  instead of port 25, which was the "default", I now have to send 
to port  593.
Don't ask--I don't know--just following  orders!     hi-hi

BTW, this is ONLY for the RTTY bulk mailer that is used on  ITTY.
