Analogy: Simply because no-one alerted you to the fact that you were about to be hit by a bus as you stepped off of the curb and began to cross the street does not mean that you will not be hit. <g g g> ;-) >> 3) just out of 'curiosity' that everything went >> right and that all messages *did* get sent ;-) > Yes, well.... and do you want verification that all the email has been > successfully delivered?

Is this not why the 'delivery reciept' feature was impemented many years ago ??? ;-) >> As to POP3 and SMTP going into history.lst >> I will look into this and get back to you. > Thanks. Oohhh You are most welcome. :) As I said before. It is due to the differences in how each user wants Arachne to work that keeps me interested in changing her around here-and-there. BTW, ---- in my current "exerimental copy" of arachne.cfg --- AfterSMTP file:alert.dgi ________________________________________________________________ ---- in my current "exerimental copy" of mime.cfg --- file/alert.dgi >HTM|if notexist $M*.TBS \n copy mail.htm $2 if exist $M*.TBS $ebeepbeep.com \n copy mail.htm $2 ________________________________________________________________ It does not work the way it's supposed to (yet). So, as they say..... "Please do not try this at home" ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
