rss2email gives: Fatal error: could not connect to mail server

[Thufir]

Ok, progress :)

some sort of error relating to specific rss feed?  I tried a few, so that seems
unlikely.

It comes across as a bug, but it seems more likely to be user error, I must
admit.  By the way, I configured a FQDN, for what it's worth,
"benetleilax.homedns.org", via <http://www.dyndns.com/>, but that's a side topic
I'm thinking

thanks,
