Things were probably unsettled while I was messing with the mail software
here, but that's been up and running in its present form for a few weeks
now.  I was on a different machine Friday morning, which probably made the
difference but I don't know how.  On that machine I use Outlook Express on
XP Pro.  OE goes outside the LAN and sends mail directly to the server at
Embed.  The message I'm writing now is from OE on a Windows 2000 Machine at
Embed, which will send it to the same server as the other one.  To the
outside world, both messages are coming from the same software at the same
IP address.  I can't think of how the server would distinguish the two
messages by anything it should be looking at.  The last (oldest) "received:"
line would be different, but the server shouldn't care and probably doesn't
even examine it.

I have sent messages successfully to the PIClist from the other machine in
the past.  Any ideas how to diagnose this problem?
