In all honesty though can you name any other SMTP client that won't retry the sending of failed emails, often forever until you delete them manually from the outbox, trying every 3 minutes (or whatever your "send and receive" interval is set to) until it successfully sends it. It couldn't hurt to have a retry count and retry interval in the CF administrator and in all honesty it surely wouldn't be that hard. Default values of 3 and 30 seconds would (I suspect) fix 90% of the mail that ends up in the undeliverable folder, perhaps more. -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
