I tried several times to use newsguy's smtp servers, They host one of |
| 11 |
my pop3 email accounts, but never could get it working. I have got |
| 12 |
fastmail.com smtp server to work and gmail too but with either, sooner |

or later something changes and I'm left dinking around with it for a |
| 14 |
week until I finally hit on the right formula. |
