I think by "unique" it means each host/port pair must be unique. The interface is a bit unintuitive. If you talk to servers A, B and C which, respectively listen to ports M, N and O, you'd enter A,B,C in the hosts field and M,N,O in the ports field. (I think comma is the separator. Maybe it's a colon though.) It would be fine if M, N and O all equalled 110 as long as A, B and C were distinct hosts. Nathan> Is there a maximum number of servers or ports that I can have? I don't believe so. -- Skip Montanaro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/ "Be different, express yourself like everyone else." _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Info/Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
