woohoo! it's working! I finally figured out that I had to make two
changes in config.h.defaults:
#define DELIVER_IN_BUFFER_SIZE 512 /* was set to 8192 */
#define DELIVER_OUT_BUFFER_SIZE 512 /* was set to 8192 */
Then I recompiled, and my mail started going out to mail.earthlink.net
again.
I haven't tested for the largest value my system can take, but 512
definitely works.
I'm sure you will all be pleased to know that I'm going back to the
smarthost way. After all, I have to send Jeffrey email about my success!
cheers, and thanks for the help, and God bless open source,
