Dynamically switching SMTP servers
Hello TBUDL, I connect to the internet three different ways with my laptop. 1)At work I am plugged into a LAN with a dedicated network connection with a DHCP assigned address. When I am hooked up this way, I use the local SMTP server (since my ISP won't relay mail from machines not on its network). 2)When I'm at home I use the Internet sharing feature of Win98 and use the Win98 assigned address and my ISPs SMTP server (since my work SMTP server is behind a firewall and won't allow me to connect to it. 3) On occasion I actually dial into my ISP and again I use my ISPs SMTP server. My questions: Is there a way to get the Bat! to switch between these servers either intelligently or with a drop-down so that I don't have to retype the names every time? Will I mess up anything if I just make copies of the cfg files for each variation and setup a batch file that will copy the appropriate file to account.cfg and then launch TB? I've not run across a mailer yet that offers this as a feature...maybe you could be the first! Looks like a great product so far. I really appreciate the "try before you buy" as it lets me see if I really do want this product. -- Best regards, Jason mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "This is it. Let me give you one piece of advice.

I edited BJ opera.ini and switched to Handler=3 from Handler=2 in the mail BJ section. Now everything works fine. Thanks to Gerard for the tip. To complicate things even further, I have my handler set to 2 in opera.ini. -- -=A.C.
