Route of the e-mail message could be as simple as: sender-host -> recipient-host or there can be multiple relay servers on the route: sender-host -> sender-isp -> relay1 -> relay2 -> ... -> recipient-isp -> recipient-host etc. With Jabber/XMPP there is only one way the message travels: sender-client -> sender-server -> recipient-server -> recipient-client Of course sender-server and recipient-server could be the same, so there is no server-to-server transmission involved. But the point is, that there can be no relay servers in beetwen sender-server and recipient-server - no 'multi-hop' (hop is a transmission between two stops). -- smk _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
