Well, it could have been a temporary problem which has now been fixed,
so you should probably try it again.  

However, vax001.kenyon.edu is at this moment refusing SMTP connections, 
so it could be something more complex.  Seems like the best help might
come from postmaster@kenyon.edu.  If you can't get mail to that address
either, then you should contact your own postmaster for assistance.

PS.  I changed the subject because I don't think that type of hardware
has anything to do with it.  The basis of Internet email is that any
kind of machine is supposed to be able to send to any other kind of
machine as long as they have both implemented the Simple Mail Transport
Protocol (SMTP).
