I still think you are confused. Using sendmail and mr2ilda in conjuction
with mr2ice is not the simplest way to run mr2ice. Also, if you read
mr2ilda.doc again you might realize that it only works for incoming SMTP
mail and you are trying to use it to send mail.

>just got version 2.30a and expect to register it as soon as I get it

FWIW, get v2.31a from

http://mr2ice.secant.com/nick/mr2i231a.zip

Nick's been a bit slow to update the main web pages.

>Verizon mail servers are:
>incoming mail.gte.net (POP3)
>outgoing outgoing.verizon.net (SMTP)

This looks correct, but there's something wrong with the URL for the SMTP
server.

telnet -p 110 mail.gte.net

responds as expected.

telnet -p 25 outgoing.verizon.net

Does not respond here. This may be because I am not on the verizon
network. You need to try this locally.

Once you get the server to respond to telnet, move on to testing your ICE
settings. Run iptrace and try to do a send. If you can't interpret the
iformat output, e-mail to to me and I will take a look.

>I initially tried what you suggested above, but could not send mail.

A better solution would have been to ask then rather than try all sorts of
strange and unusual setups.

>Studying the MR2ICE documentation (which seems pretty good) led me to
>mr2ilda.doc which, as I read it, suggests that mr2ilda.exe is used with

Nope. It's the delivery agent that allows sendmail to pass received
messages to ice. To use your local sendmail to send, you tell ice to put
the outbound messages in the mail queue directory. sendmail will
eventually see the queue messages and send it on it's way.

If you really want to use sendmail, you'll have to get Peter's attention.
I'm far from a sendmail guru even though I have run it in the past.
