Maybe it was busy the first few times I tried.  This time I connected.

>> helo

I had to type anumber after the helo.  1111 worked.
Otherwise it complained about no domain name.

>> mail from:your-email-address
It accepted my email address here at sdf.lonestar.org or
my partner's email address at stu.wccnet.org (the incoming server)

>> rcpt:recipient-email-address
I typed rcpt:keesan at sdf.lonestar.org
"Command unrecognized:  "rcpt:.....

I tried rcpt to:keesan at sdf.lonestar.org
'Relaying denied'.
Same for various other addresses.

Can you send mail via mail.wccnet.org even if your mail account is not 
there?  I even tried the wccnet account as the sender.

>> ===message goes here===
Assuming  I got this working, can I use a precomposed file instaed of
typing the mail online?
