How do you "directly send" without using SMTP?
with the default sending mechanism that came with it before I configured
SMTP variables
I believe the default is to use the "sendmail" command to submit the
message to the local mail delivery system. (But it sounds like the
local delivery system is unable to actually send the outgoing message,
presumably because it is trying to use the smtp port in its delivery
attempts, too.)
note that I can use the same SMTP configuration in thunderbird, icedove
and agent
If those programs are able to send outgoing email successfully, check
their configuration carefully. Most likely they are configured to use
the "submission" port (587) instead of the "smtp" port (25) (and your
ISP allows traffic to the former but not the latter).

the following link led me to use port 465 and specify smtps
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128004/mutt-not-sending-email-when-specifying-smtp-server
this is the line in my .muttrc that made it work
set smtp_url="smtps://d...@dalekelly.org@smtpout.secureserver.net:465"
hope it doesn't change ...
thanks for all the help
