Currently I am using several smtp related to the many online pop accounts. the only ones which dont work are hotpop, mail15 and juno. I did not find the built in smtp in the 8.2 books nor a man page for same. Perhaps its only in 9.1? BTW does it matter that I am on dialup??

Attempting to send mail via juno SMTP.
Yes, i understand that much, but are you dialed into juno at the time or are you dialed into "primary pay account".
Almost nobody allows you to dial into A and send mail via B's smtp server anymore. Too much spam happens.
Currently its on a 8.2 pro box and all other mail works fine. If I swap out the smtp for the primary pay account smtp the mail is sent fine. On the other user I have several pop accounts some of which use their own SMTP.
Hold on thar pardner..... Pop accounts do not use SMTP. Pop is for receiving, mail and smtp is for sending mail.
You can pop (receive) your mail from anywhere, but you can only send via the ISP you are connected to.
Hotpop is another which has a disfunctional smtp which I substitute and it thus works.
In the same sentence, you said their smtp is disfunctional and then you imply it works. Which is it? English is a tricky language. To what does "it" refer in the last sentence?
The best I can tell from your descriptions, your problem is that these days, the ONLY SMPT server you can use is the one provided by the ISP to which you are connected. So if you dial ISP X then you send your mail to smtp.x.com, (or whatever) but not to smtp.juno.com.
When you dial Juno, then send via juno.
However, I gotta point out that this is a Linux forum, and you might have missed the fact that every SuSE release has a built in SMPT server that you can use so that you are not dependent on your ISP.
