EC> Could this work? It could and will work. BUT: you'll never make anyone 'believe' you're an MTA. Because for recipient server it doesn't matter what is sending: MUA or MTA. It's SMTP. Pure. Nothing else. No 'identification string' to prove you're an MTA. Nothing. Nada. Njente. Nietschewo. The only advantage you _MIGHT_ get is: a local MTA _can_ try to directly connect the official MX when sending the mail and therefore lower the number of intermediate hops for transferring the mail. But this might be a disadvantage as well, as just this connection could be slow, while the very next SMTP-server used as a 'smart host' could be 10 times as fast accessible. So all in all you'll succeed with Hamster or something like this as well as with running BatPost, XMailServer or even a Windows Sendmail port. It simply doesn't matter when viewing the effects and results so you should take the one with most less resource usage which should be Hamster in the enumeration above. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.60q on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) I don't care, it's assimilation for you! ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
