Sorry George, it won't work. My library uses port 25 for standard SMTP.
On-Rev uses port 465 (I think) and SSL to connect.
I never worked out the SSL connection details, but maybe I should take
a look and see if it is possible.

In the meantime, you could use an irev script to send emails using the
mail shell command.

Cheers,
Sarah
