Verily did Michael D'Errico say on June 5, 1994: >Yes, maybe only one or two commands would be needed to get the POP server >to accept mail for the client. But all you've done is get the mail to >the POP server. The POP server would still need to know how to talk SMTP >to get it to the final destination, or to a smart host which would do the >delivery. And if the host was down, the POP server would have to queue >the message and try again later, so now you need a POP daemon running >all the time. Or you could leave this to the SMTP server which already >does all this. I see no problem with the pop server runing sendmail, or whatever mail transfer agent you want to run on the pop server machine, to deliver the mail, or queue it for delivery. This way only the POP server machine has to know how to deliver mail to a smarthost, if it's not the smarthost. And, if things change, there is only one place to change the configuration, not hundreds or thousands.
