OK, from your original message:

> You can define the SMTP_FROM rc.conf variable to change that IIRC.

I took that to mean I should edit rc.conf when the Edit Configuration 
Files tab appeared.  I see now that isn't want you meant.
I've undone what I did before.  Rebooted again.

Now I've made the edit to /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf

That worked, in that the error msg from the server now refers to 
bi...@wr... rather than ro...@wr....

Still doesn't send the mail though.  :-)  Now it's complaining:

    Access denied. You are not obviously not localhost.

So now I'm getting totally off the topic, but you may find this to be 
amusing.  I looked on Google for that error msg and got exactly one 
hit.  And it's from the brother of my friend who hosts wrljet.com for 
me!  So ... at this point it's over to him.
