Looks like your post made it through OK. I know I Googled for the
problem some time ago and came across an alternative SMTP server for
Sympatico: try smtp8 instead of smtp1. I changed someone over from
smtp1 to smtp8 recently and their problems went away.

The standard disclaimers apply, I do not work for Sympatico, your
mileage may vary ..
