I think it's stronger than your item 2. Even if your mail sending setup does some MTA-like things, e.g., relay messages from somewhere else, if it can't act like a fully capable MTA, it's doing submission and needs to relay mail through a fully capable MTA. I'm thinking, for example, of DMA (Dragonfly Mail Agent), a small almost MTA that I use on my small server boxes. Even though DMA can technically do all the things that 5321 says an MTA is supposed to do, I have it configured to relay everything to the submission server on my real MTA rather than trying to send mail directly. The definition of a fully capable MTA is circular -- it's an MTA that does the things that persaude other MTAs that it's a real MTA. There are no doubt people who will find that unacceptably vague, but that's life. R's, John
