pine and sendmail problems

Actually, we don't at all care what mail ports on the ISP's address
are listening. What we do care about is if he can send mail to other
servers besides his ISP on port 25. You can determine that for example
as follows:

telnet speech.braille.uwo.ca 25

If speech.braille.uwo.ca responds, then he doesn't need to use his
ISP. If speech.braille.uwo.ca doesn't respond, then he's limited to
using his ISP to send mail, unless he can find someone else to relay
through. Even if he can send mail by himself, he still may not be able
to send it to every server if he's on a dynamic IP, as someone else
has already pointed out.
