I'm glad to hear it. It's nice to have feedback, and know that the
advice one is giving is correct :-)

There's an important distinction to be made here. Gate has been
*working* as an smtp gateway , but an announcement was made to the
effect that customers should switch to using post, which is now the
only supported gateway. This was so long ago that I don't even have
the relevant article any more. The point is that gate has continued to
work in the intervening period, but if you have any problems, tough,
you should be using post. This service has now finally been withdrawn
from gate, which is why you had the problem.

You're welcome.
