Hi all,

I have the following message when I try to send a mail :

[>SMTP hello failure:421  SMTP connection went away!<]

If I send a mail using "mail", it works, If I'm connected
remote to this alpha and when I use Pine, it works also.

What is wrong ??
TIA

JEAN

I suspect that 
smtp-server is not defined in your configuration file
try setting it via the Config/Setup command.  Better yet,
ask your sysadmin to set it globally in the pine.conf file.
