Well this is how mail normally propergates around the Internet, so I am not sure why we shouldn't be doing that. I would rather ensure that my mail gets delivered to its destination than to put the responsability onto another machine. I realise that some isps block people who are on a dynamicip, but for people like mw who have a static ip this is not an issue. Andrew. -- Andrew Hodgson, Bromyard, Herefordshire, UK.
