Hi,

The email guy was out last week, this morning he said he turned smtp relay
off for security reasons. Thanks.

Larry, I would first run a manual SMTP session via telnet to your mail 
server.  If that works alright, then I would use a packet sniffer to 
figure out when Zope is getting this disconnect from the smtp server.
