Hah!! Just set up a third personality which DOES require me to "Use relay

It has to do with the settings on the SMTP server. Some will allow you
to relay mail, and some won't. It used to be that most of them would,
but spammers hijack them for sending out spam, so now a well-run SMTP
server generally requires some kind of authentication and there are
numerous different authentication schemes. If the authentication
requires that you have to be using an IP address associated with the
server and you're connected with an IP address not associated with the
server, then you would need to set Eudora to use the relay personality
when sending mail from that personality.
