I can send an email using Thunderbird. I use the same smtp server address when installing blat. But, blat does not send the email. I get the following error:
Error: Server refused connection.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

A:
Sounds like you may trying to use a regular connect rather than an http*s* connection. Or you may be useing the regular 80 port rather than the SSL port 443 (or something like that).

It looks like the email in Thunderbird is being sent using Extended SMTP. But, why would the smtp server accept that email and not an email with simply SMTP. Is there a major difference between the two?

Yes, if you are not using the correct ports for encrypted/non-encrypted.
