Well, their doc explains in more detail: http://www.pair.com/pair/support/library/email/smtp.html Apparently you can use their relay host to send mail via SMTP *if* you have connected to their POP3 server and logged in during the last 15 minutes. I considered writing a script to do that, which I would have .qmail invoke before invoking TMDA, but then I would have to save my password in plain text for the script to send, which strikes me as a bad idea. If you can see a way around the situation, please do let me know. I've been thinking about it for awhile and haven't come up with anything. > This isn't typical.

They are dated this morning, though, and I was testing this last night: Uncaught Python 2.0 Exception (Mon Aug 19 09:16:34 2002): Perhaps TMDA retried for awhile and I was just too quick to send mail to this list? At any rate, I apologize for reporting a bug that isn't there. j --- "Users complain that they receive too much spam, while spammers protest messages are legal." -InfoWorld "You do not have to do everything disagreeable that you have a right to do." -Judith Martin (Miss Manners) _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
