Yeah, mail configuration is more than just one config file. There are 
multiple sources for setting up a mail server with upas, see my blog, 
this mailing list (archive) and docs.9front.org. Configuring sending is 
easier than receiving.

Check your /mail/lib/remotemail file and your dns entries, and (in case 
of gmail) your spam folder there. I recommend using an online mail tester 
(the one with the boat) for spam detection and potential 
misconfiguration.

This error is discussed about just recently. I think it was something 
like, /net is first tested, and if that didn't succeed, /net.alt is used 
silently. If you don't use /net.alt it fails, of course. I think there 
was some solution for this error, but I'm not sure about that.

PS: I know this error well because I get it sometimes, but most of the 
time my sending mail works fine. In these rare cases I just sent the 
(archived) mail again.
