Yes, way back when I used the PPP Project, SMTP servers were mostly open or
not running on the secure email port.  Frank Reid wrote the program, which
was just incredible for it's time.  He also hosts the centralized email
server for "Filenet" which was the backbone network.  It just
won't work these days unless it is updated for secure email servers or a
centralized non-secure email server is used.  

I'm going to drop a note to Frank Reid on the R13 Sysops echo to have him
check this echo when he has a chance.  He is an excellent programmer and
been one of the root WWIV people out there since I can remember.  He is in
Fidonet and did notice me join and sent me a note.  Just very busy with day
to day stuff, and I'm sure we can all relate to at one time or another...
