This looks like the trouble area.

on mouseup
   local mySocket
   put "127.0.0.1:25|mysocketID" into mySocket
   open socket to mySocket
   read from socket mySocket until linefeed
   answer it
   close socket mySocket
end mouseup

Use the socketId if you might be creating two (or more) connections to 
port 25 on the same computer at the same time.  For example, you might 
have code in one place sending mail on an alarm and code in another 
place sending mail for regular reports; they might use a common queue 
for other code or independently connect--the latter needs the use of the 
socketID.
