Thunderbird gets confused (or maybe it's Mike that gets confused) if you
try to use different SMTP servers for different e-mail accounts. That
won't show up to spammers unless they look at the full header of the
message, and that's too much trouble for not enough activity, at least
in rec.audio.pro.

So in the Thunderbird Account Settings for eternal.september, put in
SMTP server that works for other mail and that should get it out.


Giving this a try... here's hoping.
