Hello,

I notice that netscape in infoagents is configured to use
"mit.edu" as the outgoing mail server.  My understanding of the
desires of the postmasters is that they would prefer
"outgoing.mit.edu" to be used for this purpose.  Perhaps see
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/eudora/install-95.html#send
although it's been suggested to me that you simply directly ask
the postmaster what they want.

The relevant setting in preferences.js is
user_pref("network.hosts.smtp_server", "outgoing.mit.edu");
