Ah, I didn't understand that correctly. I thought that was where I should put the out going mail file.

Got it. I called sendamil thusly:

[D:\]sendmail -a R:\SendMailTest.txt -t
IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 2.04
Using Sendmail Configuration File E:\MPTN\ETC\sendmail.cf

The external process was cancelled by a Ctrl+Break or another process.

Tried all of these combinations of settings seen in SeaMonkey:

DVsmtp.roadrunner.com
#DVlistsns/smtp.roadrunner.com
#DVlistsns - smtp.roadrunner.com
#DVlocalhost
#DVlocalhost/listsns/smtp.roadrunner.com
#DVlocalhost/smtp.roadrunner.com

Same result - a hang

I cleared the MQUEUE each time I did a run. There were the correct three files there each time.
That would indicate sendmail is working it just isn't making a proper connection to Time Warner.

Ran all of the above DV combinations with DPlistsns active and commented out and with and without
JunkSpy. Same result...a hang.

The only connection I have is through Roadrunner. However, when I reconfigured SeaMonkey to work
without JunkSpy I had to log in again to read mail. I don't know if SeaMonkey sends the log in
string each time when mail is read and/or sent. So I can't say whether a log in is needed on
sending or not. FWIW: I never have to log in but once as long as I don't close SeaMonkey.
