You've gotten good advice from both David Lipman and CS. I just wanted
to add that usually when someone is having problems sending email, the
reasons are one or a combination of:
a. Wrong user name
b. Wrong password
c. Your ISP does/doesn't require authentication for the SMTP server and
you've got it set wrongly.
