OK, so this isn't an issue per se with the documentation itself, but a lack of understand of the fundamental differences between SMTP and POP - and that ASSP only applies to SMTP (regardless of the POP before SMTP function). So, additional supplemental references or documentation highlighting the differences would be helpful for new MTA administrators... ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
