I don't think I understand this. Why would using an ISP's relay speed up the mail transfer? Because your own server only sends one copy and the ISP's server then chunks it up for everyone? (That's just a guess; haven't looked into it.) Frankly, though my current ISP is better than any other I've had, I'd rather handle as much of the plumbing myself as I can get away with. Easier to troubleshoot, in any case. -- monique Ask smart questions, get good answers: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
