Hola Marcos,

  I've always had a direct connection to an smtp server, and that's the
way I've sent mail. Try to see if adding the name of the smtp server you
want to use to the smtp-server variable in your .pinerc works. You may
need to add it in the form

smtp-server = name.smtp.server/user=yourid

if it needs authentication, or if the id of your smtp server is different
than the account name you have in cygwin.

  Let me know if this works or not.

  Salu2,
