In that case, I'll just attribute it to Bat Magic (tm). <grin>
If each machine connects directly to the internet to send and receive
e-mail but saves it to a network shared drive, then I don't know how
TB knows that it's really not going outside of the local system.
This is what I hear you saying. Tell me if I got it wrong.
1. There are three machines with TB installed on them. (Clients x,y,z)
2. There is a fourth machine which is acting as a file server.
(Server)
3. The server has a shared folder containing the messages.tbb and .tbi
files for the three accounts (x,y,z).
4. Each client has an account set up under TB for whichever mailfile
it uses. i.e. Client A uses a.tbb and a.tbi on the server. Client B
uses b.tbb and b.tbi on the server etc. (I used b.tbb just as
shorthand, I know they're still called messages.tbb etc and are just
in different folders).
5. Each client can send and receive SMTP / POP traffic directly to
the internet without using the server and the mail is then stored in
the respective mail file on the server.
???? SHRUG ???? You got me how each TB standalone installation would
know which accounts are "local" and therefore not use the internet.
What SMTP server are the clients using? What POP server?

Not really. I mean, if you had a local SMTP and POP server on the same
network that the clients were configured to use, you should still see
that box as a hop in the headers.
i.e. Received from clientA (IP) on SMTP server address blah, blah.
Now, if each client had all three accounts set up under each and there
was an outgoing filter to move the message to one of the other
accounts, then maybe I could see this happening.
Another idea is that if all three accounts are set up under each
client, then maybe TB is smart enough to realize the accounts are
local and does a local delivery. I don't recall that happening when I
had multiple e-mail accounts under one TB installation, but that was a
long time ago too.
> Again, thanks for your help.
No problem, but I don't know that I've really helped with anything.
<grin>
