There IS a workaround if the host is directly connected: you can send
the message manually using SMTP, for instance with 
"telnet 205.179.167.58 smtp" which will connect you to the SMTP
server. You can then send the message manually using SMTP data
transfer. Unwieldy, but I did it a couple of times.
