Hi Marty,

Not a spontaneous help, but as you will see in this list, I have had the 
same or a similar problem with it during the last weeks. At least I can 
say that I got no error with the Mime. thing, but I had a pdf to attach 
and used Mime.Binary (no idea if that was correct, but there were no 
complaints).

I tried with different providers and their different settings. With SSL, 
I got no message at all, just ->quit. With TLS I got the same kind of 
errors and found no way to solve them. That provider uses STARTTLS, 
maybe it's not been fully implemented yet.

Eventually I used an external tool for sending the mails.
