Same stands DRS> for outgoing port 25. That's actually not the case. There's no problem opening up multiple client connection on the same port. I don't know of a Web browser that doesn't open *at least* 4 simultaneous connections on port 80. >From the server side, you can't *listen* on the same port more than once, but that's not the same thing. The only problem you might run into with multiple email clients would be if the particular POP3 server running at your ISP didn't support multiple simultaneous connections to the same mailbox. Most servers I've run across lock the mailbox so only one client can connect at a time. But even that generally won't cause a problem. The clients should just retry until they get through. -- Joel Johnstone Using The Bat! v1.53t on Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
