Don't send me personal copies of your PIClist posts.  I don't need to see
the same message twice.

None of this has anything to do with SMTP or POP3.  For SMTP you first have
to establish a TCP connection to port 25 of the server in the usual way.
POP3 is the same, but uses port 110.  You only start talking SMTP or POP3
after these have been established.
