[Eug-lug] Need to send mail from local server to a MTA over www

[Brian Gallagher]

Can't help you on the tech, but hang in there, hopefully, someone will.

This part is Off-Topic but did you take in the permaculture garden bike tour
on Saturday.  I am expecting an email from there.  I want to connect with
the electric transportation community.

Please email me direct about electrics, regulars don't like to muddy the
water with Off-Topic stuff.
