Yessssssssssssss!
OK this is a temporary solution but at least I can send now. I have my
laptop sending and my tablet, but for some reason I can't get my phone
sending. It's not even hitting the server. I even tried using IP
address instead of host. AT&T must be interfering somehow.
I'm gonna try a different mail program on my phone next.
Thanks everyone for their advice. I'm out of crisis mode but I still
need to take the next step when I get back of moving sending and
receiving to the linode box.
