I had problems with Eudora sending mail before. It was due to a
firewall that filters out a message that Eudora uses that no other
email client does. It is something about pinging the server for
authentication capabilities. The problem is that if the message times
out Eudora hangs. If the message is accepted or rejected, everything
is fine.
My solution was to run to the SMTP server via ssh making the email
packets invisible to the firewall. Of course, I had to get a Unix
expert to set up ssh, and I had to change the ports used in Eudora
(which requires an extra plugin, plus some applescripting). If I was
to do it again, I would duplicate each account and just have an
applescript turn one account on or off (i.e. prevent checking and
sending of mail) ... instead of actually modifying the parameters in
real time. I thought of putting "nossh" in the name of personalities
that should not be used when ssh is used and "withssh" in
personalities that should only be used when ssh is active ... which
assumes that you would want to use ssh sometimes and not other times.
