Anticipating this, I repeatedly mentioned that I'm using V 0.14.2

I'd be more willing to beta-test 0.103 if I saw an honest admission
of the problem by other users.  So far I mostly get implications
that only I imagine these problems.

Well that would have avoided the problem.

BTW does V 0.14.2 email properly ? 
As I remember the default port was 25. Is that right ?
OTOH I'm not sure that I've ever emailed with the linux installation
  that runs pan.  I suppose it uses sendmail ?
