I've been struggling with that. But the smarthost requires TLS authentication, and what with spooling the messages and then sending them, it's a bit of a stretch for me to write all that in a script. Plus the whole thing of retries if the connection goes down in the middle of a transmission, and all that. I was hoping to find a ready-made solution and nothing else seems to support both spooling and SSL and presumably retries if the message send fails. --Yan -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ A day may come (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ when the courage of men fails, (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ when we forsake our friends and break all (_)\(_) ,>/'_ bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
