There are so many sources that i'm not able to give you anything :) The architecture is very simple, on one side you've a server that will be probably written in Perl that will listen on a given port. On the other side a _very_thin_ client written in C ( it should not be more that 30Kb ) that is run by XMail, connect to the server, give it file and options and return a status. Very simple. You can even have a pool of servers with the C program that select one of these with a random function to achieve load distribution. - Davide - 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]
