That might be the case, but that all depends on what your ISP supports. I honestly am getting out of my field here so will not steer you wrong. I hope someone wih greater knowledge than I can answer your question. In either case if you only log in to your isp for mail and its a different password then gaining access to the connection, it might be ok to use plain old pop3, but me I'm paranoid.<grin> I have such a setup with my isp and can even get mail forwarded to my domain by them if necessary, but I realize this might not work for everyone. I know we have some experts on here who can figure out the best route. On Sat, Sep 28, 2002 at 10:19:29PM -0400, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi.
