I tried what you suggested Wanderer, but instead of getting a fatal error message, it just times out. I'll at least chalk it up to "making progress" I suppose...
I bet you have used it, you just didn't know it...
SMTP Pronounced as separate letters, short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a means of sending email messages between servers. Most email systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another.
The messages can then be retrieved with an email client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your email application.
