The config is right. The news groups line has nothing, and the mail to line has 
the address to which to send it. Sendinga new mail results in pan still trying 
to send it via nntp. The debug sockets shows it that way. The dialog comes up 
with usenet posting failed. It shouldn't even try to send it via the nntp, just 
the smtp.

That is the message contents in the queue of a new post.

config.xml settings

<section key="Mail">
      <value key="smtp_address" type="s">smtp.charter.net</value>
    </section>

That is the config for the mail server.

I notice there is no port setting there, so I guess 25 will always be default 
if nothing is in the config.xml.

It is still trying to send via nntp, even though everything is set for it to 
use smtp. It used to work with the older version. That is why I posted here. 
People have already posted in the user list about not being able to send mail, 
but that was apparently attributed to not having a correct setup. Looks good 
over here.

Sincerely,
William Harrington
