I don't use it, but I think it does what you want. here is the autoselect info from the help file: 3.3 Tab "SMTP Autoselect" Theory To avoid sending of 'junk mail' (or 'spam') via their mail servers, a lot of internet providers require users to authorize themselves before mail sending. Contemporary mail clients can be easily configured to work with most types of authorization (POP before SMTP, MD5, RFC 2554, etc.). But sometimes SMTP server allows sending a mail only for client, which IP-address is in specified range (usually this is IP-range assigned to the provider). So it won't be possible to connect via one provider and send mail via SMTP-server of another. X-Ray could automatically select SMTP-server from a specified list accordingly to current IP address. It is necessary to create a record for every IP-range with values: * Server: SMTP server, which should be used for given provider; * Network & Subnet mask: definition of IP-range of the given provider. Note: X-Ray will try to set those fields automatically in the next manner: * Network: current IP address * Subnet mask: value 255.255.255.0 In most cases those values should work fine. If not, try to play with a Subnet mask. Quick configuration of SMTP Autoselect (must be done once for every provider): - connect to a provider; - go to SMTP Autoselect tab; - create a new record; - pick a server that will be used for mail redirection (the server should be created before this step). Repeat the process for every provider that will be used with SMTP Autoselect. Don't forget to switch on "SMTP Autoselect" option (dialog "Options/Settings", or menu SMTP Servers/ SMTP Autoselect) and X-Ray will select SMTP server for automagically! -- Paul Using The Bat! v2.10.01 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 (avast! version number) (avast!
