Most directly, corn.  corn is the host that refused to relay, and  then
started relaying.
Relaying was from htpc to the ISP mail server.

It seems to be working now, although I haven't tried sending mail whose
ultimate destination is corn. That should be less problematic than
relaying.

Yes,

Yes.

I'm hoping it can now; my first attempt failed because of the relay
denied
problem.  I think the original message may have been sent on eventually,
because 2 identical bug reports ended up on the bug server.  When the
relaying failed I copied the bug report to corn and then emailed it from
there.
