Your message arrived just as it should have. And I see you got my 
response. Then I tried good old Mail from a Linux box on a different 
network and successfully sent mail to my account on the new server. 
Worked perfectly. THen on the same machine I tried to set up a second 
account to this server using Thunderbird. No dice. I couldn't make a 
connection, or when I did, I get errors

So now I think the problem is a misconfigured Thunderbird. I need to 
read up on SSL/TLS or STARTTLS and various kinds of password methods, 
none of which I can see in the server's config. At this point Idon't 
even know what I dont know so it's hard to ask the right questions. I'm 
going to study it some more, and if I don' t get it I'll be back 
hopefully with a little better grip on the problem. Thanks for the help 
so far!
