Thats a good point, and one thats reflected in the number of tiny but significant bugs in both James and JavaMail (not just the SMTP bits). There are so many idiosyncracies which have crept into the standards and common practices that it is difficult to handle every "boundary condition" satisfactorily, it is my opinion that we don't duplicate work done by Sun wherever possible. That said I also think that we could improve performance of remote delivery by batching up mail to be delivered to a single host and delivering it in a single session. d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
