There is (apparently) basic SMTP authentication with pmail. Why
else would the config file ask for username and and password for
SMTP?

The manpage only refers to authentication for POP, which is
a contradiction. 

But may indicate that you are right.

I use basic SMTP auth with my ISP's mailserver with msmtp. But
I've not gotten far enough to see whether pmail's version (if
any) works there.

It just refuses to see the postponed file, which seems
to have adequate permissions. As does the ~/.pmailrc.

"Warning: No postpone message folder specied."

I also tried it from the console, to make sure no X
misconfiguration was causing the problem.

Thanks,

Lee
