   Hello Al!

   Just about any e-mail provider which accepts SMTP message submission should   
   work, I think.   
      
   However -- if I recall correctly -- when speaking to the SMTP server, Mystic   
   will say:   
      
   MAIL FROM:    
      
   ...and it will also (in the message headers, i.e., as part of the message   
   data) state:   
      
   From:    
      
   ...where yourbbsdomain.here is the value of Servers --> General Options -->   
   Domain Name.   
      
   This might cause some e-mail services to refuse the message -- even though   
   Mystic authenticates itself to the SMTP server using the credentials from   
   Servers --> General Options --> SMTP Login and Servers   
   --> General Options --> SMTP Password.   
      
   I know Microsoft's outlook.com e-mail service refuse such messages, for   
   example.   
      
   In my case, I had to configure Mystic to submit the e-mails to my   
   locally-listening-and-relaying SMTP server on my Linux box instead, and have   
   that one rewrite sysop@scbbs.nsupdate.info in the message data to match the   
   actual e-mail address of the outlook.com account... And let it relay the   
   e-mail to outlook.com, authenticating with the outlook.com account credentials.   
      
   So there might be some pitfalls, but in any case, it's worth trying out   
   another e-mail provider.   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
