I am having trouble with this. What works from terminal and Mail.app
doesn't work for this. I could use some help.

I have the following E-Mail Settings:

Enable E-mail Alerts on
Send E-mail Alerts when a situation is important
To root(a)local.peirce-family.com
From root(a)local.peirce-family.com
Seerver 127.0.0.1
Port 110 [taken from Mail.app]
Authentication on
Username root
Password XXXXXXXX

I use Qpopper to send local mail. When I send a test E-mail, I get a
panel that says:

+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.19) at robert-peirces-computer.local starting.

This implies the test mail is being sent but it is being dropped
somewhere.

Port 110 is usually POP, which is for receiving mail. Mail is sent
using SMTP, which is usually port 25.

I'm quoting the full message for context. I change to Port 25 and got
the following message:

Send Test E-mail
502 5.5.1 Error: command not implemented.

Sounds like you have some strange setup there.

I run my own mail server (Postfix + Dovecot), and have no such problems
with Drobo.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

I think the problem is in my definition of the Mail Server. Different
names produce different error messages.

127.0.0.1 502 5.5.1 Error: command not implemented
robert-peirces-computer The specified host is unknown.
robert-peirces-computer.local Interrupted.
local.robert-peirces-computer The specified host is unknown.
peirce-family.com Interrupted.
peirce-family.com.local The specified host is unknown.
local.peirce-family.com Interrupted.
peirce-family The specified host is unknown.
peirce-family.local The specified host is unknown.
local.peirce-family The specified host is unknown.

Since mail is sent to rbp(a)local.peirce.family.com from
rbp(a)local.peirce-family.com and this works from a terminal window and
shows up in Mail.app, I am inclined to think the server is
local.peirce-family.com, but I may be missing something.

Perhaps I need to use something other than port 25.

I, also, use Postfix, but I use qpopper to feed local mail to Postfix
which I believe acts as sendmail. The README for Qpopper says:

Qpopper supports the widely used POP3 protocol for downloading Internet
e-mail used by many popular e-mail clients. Qpopper does not include a
message transfer agent or SMTP support and normally works with standard
UNIX mail transfer agents such as sendmail or smail.
