Not true. In fact can't be true, since you receive email through POP on port 110, and Earthlink blocks port 25, for OUTGOING email. And if it were true, you could still do without Sendmail, because switch uses the same opensource code as sendmail; you'd just have to change the settings yourself. I think this misunderstanding comes about because you _can_ use Sendmail Switch to tell sendmail to receive mail on another port besides port 25, and then to relay it. So this is a solution for _outgoing_ email, and again, you don't need "switch" to do it (I've been doing it for years). One thing you _do_ need is a mail client that can send on another port besides 25; Eudora for Windows makes it easy (though you won't find it in the user documentation); I've never figured out how to do it with Netscape or Outlook Express, though. But again, this is an _outgoing_ solution. Incoming needs no solution. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've used Earthlink dialups to get email from my pop-server on my own RaQ over and over again. It just works.
