HI, how many ISPs are we talking about? since u can probably make a simple script vbs/perl/whatever that uses http to send current nslookup and get xml/text data from your company web site which includes all known ISPS smtp addresses. this way, any addition of ISP can be realized quickly and be added to ur database by analyzing unknown http get call to ur xml/text page. or if u still can't manage, just build a simple php page with execute code to change the smtp address automagicaly in the registry(windows)/mail settings what do u think?

I was solving exactly the same problem a month ago, and when I advised our travellers just to use ISP SMPT servers, they even didn't ask what SMTP is, they just told they weren't ready to mess with technical issues (and, to be frank, I prefer to sleep at night rather than be awaken in the middle of the night with phone calls screaming "it does not send my email!", if they forgot or just do not know how to found out what their current ISP is and what its SMTP server is). So who cares? I installed SMTP AUTH and let these guys sit for hours in front on ther laptops waiting for their messages (sometimes - with some graphics attachments) to be delivered though dial-up. --> -- --> Tzafrir Cohen --> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir --> Max ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
