Not quite the same thing as Pierre was describing but some mail server software have an option which allows mails where delivery needs to be retried to be directed to a separate machine. This can be useful if some sites that get a lot of mail are being very slow to respond (for example, timing out due to being down or heavily loaded) but it can cause noticable delays for mail that does wind up getting retried due to delivery slots being congested. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
