come on sid,
servers are put up to handle mail. I mean if your mail server does not
accept mail for your domain, which is *pushed* to it from another mail
server, then why the hell is it there ??
So in general u cant call that *pushy* :-)
>From a TCP/IP point of view, i would say that push technology would require
some kind of a listener on the client side.
The server will contact the listener at some port and pass on the data. In
this case the client is NOT asking for data.
BTW has anybody studied how these channels work. I will look it up today.

agreed, from a client point of view, but (and this is just for argument
sake
:)) if you look it from server to server, then it can be called *pushy* can
it not? i mean, suppose i send mail from my smtp server to you, then my
smtp
server *pushes* out stuff to your smtp server right?
