It's not about MS SMTP service, see last response. | 2) the SMTP service will create the file directly inside=20 | spool/local and this will break the protocol I don't understand?!?! | IMO there're 2000 ways to send messages in any high level=20 | language, pls pick a "sane" one. The main problem is, so there is lot of third-party programs, which are generating messages in this format. It's hardcoded there and their = authors probably does not even know that something like XMail exists. As I said, there is a way how to do it programatically - the program is simple. But it's deployment not. If it should be really online, I must = write it as service (daemon) and it must be installed and configured. Or I can write it as commandline program, but then I must setup some scheduling, = ie. every 5 minutes. But then message delivery would be delayed and also = there is lot of work for administrator. Therefore, if the task is so simple, as changing the way of processing = first few lines of file, and the workaround is need to write and maintain = separate service, then I think so the better way is do it on server. -- Altair - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
