Sending email works via Thunderbird but not blat. Any ideas why?

I can send an email using Thunde开发者_如何学Crbird. I use the same smtp server address when installing blat. But, blat does not send the email. I get the following error:

Error:  Server refused connection.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like you may trying to use a regular connect rather than an http*s* connection. Or you may be useing the regular 80 port rather than the SSL port 443 (or something like that).
