Continuing balsa problems: sending mail

[PSR <rkimber ntlworld com>]

I'm not clear how to set up balsa-1.1.7 to send mail.  If I put my smtp 
server [ smtp.ntlworld.com ] in the preferences balsa hangs when I try to 
send anything. Yet if I leave the default setting [ localhost:25 ] balsa 
appears to work but I don't think the messages get to their destination (e.g. 
I have submitted a number of messages to this list, but they haven't appeared 
(at least not yet).

I have experienced crashes when using the help system.  These have been 
resolved by re-compiling without threads.  If threads work for some people, 
then it would seem to be a distribution issue.  I'm using Mandrake 7.2
