Or submit using XMIT. But this would be a very strange defensive tactic, since XMIT submission is akin to SMTP submission on port 26: not proof that a subscriber is _not_ spamming, but proof that the ISP will not seen as responsible for direct delivery. I have to agree that a provider who demands that you use only their POP3 mail servers definitely has a (to me, utterly unacceptable) ToS which demands a new provider, rather than a workaround. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
