Sounds like your ISP is blocking port 25 for other hosts than your ISP
(and localnet, of course). This means that you cannot send mail directly
to other hosts. You have to configure a relay mail host. This is to
prevent spam (many people misconfigured their mailserver, so it became an
open relay: good for spamming).

route_append:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtp.myisp.nl byname"

# Stand-alone system, so no routers configured.
end
Works fine.

NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
(also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
*real* 32-bit system.
