Setup

[furby]

I am new to Rebol and so I probably just installed and set the language
up incorrectly, but every time I execute this command :

send emai...@address.com "test"

(of course, I have changed the address to a bogus one)

I get this error :

** Access Error: Network timeout
** Where: confirm
** Near: smtp-port: open [scheme: 'esmtp]

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not an ESMTP guru--maybe re-post this on the standard ML so more
people will see it--but it could be an issue in the ESMTP scheme that
doesn't work with some servers (I think the EHLO cmd is the problem).
If so, you could try the latest experimental release on REBOL.net or
get Cesar Chavez's patch from REBOL.org.

Kind of a pain as a first experience, I know. REBOL used to use just
SMTP, but included changes for ESMTP more recently.

>> ? set-net
......
ARGUMENTS:
settings -- [email-addr default-server pop-server proxy-server
proxy-port-id proxy-type esmtp-user esmtp-pass]

the 'default-server' is the smtp address, for example, www.asmtp.com,
but I don't konw how to set its port if it is not 25. plz use 'none' if
a arg is not used

Webmail (www) is probably different, but if it's a standard port, you
can just put the port number at the end. e.g. www.asmtp.com:1024
