  Thanks.  I commented out the "no" lines.  TLS 1.1 failed, but TLS 1.0
seems to work...

# set ssl_starttls=no
# set ssl_force_tls=no
set ssl_use_tlsv1=yes
set smtp_url=smtp://smtp.ebox.ca:587

  I currently use cotse.net to handle incoming email.  It's served me
well, allowing me to keep the same email address over the years as I've
changed ISPs.  I could do outbound email through them, but I don't like
webmail interfaces.  Notice the mention of "mutt" in the subject.

  This post is coming to you via port 587 *VIA FIBRE*... wheeeee!  The
support desk phoned this morning, and we went spelunking through the
config menus of the fibre modem, and set it up.
