A correctly configured SMTP server should not be asked to handle relaying for alien domains unless it is a routing or receiving server.

Instead of having one Inbox for all accounts (horribly inflexible), in The Bat you can filter all inbound messages for general distribution. ... <snip> AG> sent. But if I do change the account, I have to make a mental note AG> of which one it was and then move from that outbox afterwards to AG> the outbox for the account I actually want to send from. In the middle of the editor window status bar is an indicator of which account you are currently using. Left click to change account. Simple. Vive la difference! If every piece of software had exactly the same features with identical interfaces, what point would the be of having different software? I was also a one time Eudora user. There is nothing Eudora did that TB doesn't do better. There is also a large list of things TB does that Eudora doesn't. It just takes getting used to the differences and getting to grips with the new paradigm. -- Cheers -- Marck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v6.3.0.7 (ALPHA) on Windows 6.2.9200 '
