this morning I tried again from gnome instead of xfce, the problem
remains the same, however trying to send a test message from Balsa
produced an error:
"Balsa Relaying refused 550: Relaying Refused
Message left in your Outbox."
Which once more makes me wonder if it is something my ISP is doing
that
causes the no-connect problem?
Looks like your ISP has a no-relay policy, which is quite common.
Basically the ISP doesn't recognise you as someone who can send email
through their server. It often turns out to be an authentication
problem.
