Since all SMTP mail servers accept mail from any source, then pass it on to the final destination, I would suggest that you designate WebCat2 Emailer to use a mail server close to you, such as your ISP's mail server, for example - and don't change it unless your ISP is unreliable or goes out of business ... :)Sincerely, Ken ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
