OK.. If that can't be done.. How can installing my own SMTP server
work ????
According to that other mail, If I would install a SMTP server on my
own PC, I can have that one send the messages to the target SMTP
server, but when I'd install a mailer, It wouldn't be ? Sorry but
that makes no sense. What's preventing an e-mail client from having
the same send-engine as a SMTP server on the same computer would do.
I really don't see why that wouldn't work. Then again, I have no idea
how mail arrives at a destination mailbox either, so I really can't
tell.

Can't do, users insist on faster than immediate response. Sending
direct is an absolute must.
