It's always dangerous to take the practises of a highly skilled technician and apply it to the general user population. There are no mechanisms currently available off the shelf which are well integrated and sufficient, for doing authentication-based SMTP relaying. If your pop server happens to support non-standard access to smtp and the user is running eudora, then they can use this mechanism, if they happen to know the name of the undocumented .ini parameter to create by hand. This is not reasonable to impose on or expect from the general population. d/ _________________________________________________________________________ Dave Crocker Brandenburg Consulting +1 408 246 8253 dcrocker@brandenburg.com 675 Spruce Drive (f) +1 408 273 6464 www.brandenburg.com Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA
