[Novalug] Traveling - use Alpine for mail - can't get send to work

[John Franklin]

Lots of reasons.

Could be his ISP blocks the port for sending mail (either 25 or 587).

Could be the mail server doesn't accept mail from certain addresses.

Could be your SMTP configuration is incorrect or assumes a VPN from home.

What error are you getting?  Do you see anything in /var/log/mail.log?
