Sorry Ed,

I didn't mean to be rude in not replying, but I got hit with a problem
in $REALLIFE.

What I meant by this was what settings should I use in /etc/msmtprchttp?

What I had at that point was in the bit of my mail that you trimmed in
your reply:

I tried taking out (commenting out) the tls stuff. No joy. I tried
altering the "from"... Success! I changed it to be "m...@mydomain.org".
"mark" is a valid user on this machine. Is that what the problem was? If
that is the case I didn't spot anywhere that it was a requirement that
the "from" be a "valid" user.

Anyhow - it now works. The strange thing is that I had not re-enabled
the tls settings and - even though Blueyonder insist that connections
should be made with SSL - it still works!

Thanks for all your your help.

Mark
