Oh, c'mon, surely you can imagine a better user interface than that. You configure your three ISPs into the MUA, following ISP instructions: SMTP: 1.2.3.4 user: schaefer separator: + domain: isp1.net SMTP: 5.6.7.8 user: schaefer separator: - domain: isp2.net SMTP: 9.10.11.12 user: bs domain: isp3.net Now the MUA gives you a ``subaddress'' box with either ISP 1 or ISP 2. You can type ``party-4-july'' either way. With ISP 3, since you didn't configure a separator, the MUA tells you that subaddressing isn't supported. ---Dan Set up a new mailing list in a single command. http://pobox.com/~djb/ezmlm.html
