I am running debian 1.2.4, and use smail ver 3.2-3. I have
configured it to use my ISP as a smart host. /etc/smail/routers
includes the following:
smart_host:
driver=smarthost, transport=smtp;
path=post.metrolink.net
This has worked fine for many months until May 31. Since then
when I try to run the queue I get an error message similar to the
following:

I now have to go into DOS/WIN3.1 and use Eudora to send mail, which
is unacceptable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a possible cure for this?
I have asked my ISP if he has made any recent changes, but don't
expect much satisfaction there.
