I thought ppl who use differant ISP accounts or laptops would be interested, im using this because i cant get my ISP smtp server to work with my computer.

Mail Direct is basicly a SMTP server for your computer, it uses bugger all recourses and is under a meg to dl.

Give it a try.

instead of downloading a mailserver, why dont you set up some multiple accounts in Outlook Express?

If you use two different ISP's, create two different accounts in the mailsection - but label one as "[email address] - ISP1"
and "[email address] - ISP2"

with each of the incoming (POP) mail settings as identical - but the outgoing different as per each of the ISP's stipulations.

Then when you send your message, before you send it, go to View|All Headers - and hey presto, another field with a drop down box will appear at the top of your message. This will always come up now when you send a new one.

If you are dialed up to ISP1 - choose that one, if the other - choose it respectively.

no need to run a mailservice, nor creates violations of AUP for different companies.

Be very careful installing a mailserver on your machine - if you do, and are a 12 yr old 733t hax0r and forget to disable the relay on the mailserver, its a quick way for dad or mum to get an abusive phone call from your ISP as someone has just bounced their spam from you onto your isp's mailserver - puts your isp in a blacklisting on ORBs, and renders your account with the ISP usually as finished.

umm
setting up a mail server if against most contracts

harl, im not some 12 year old, i know how to set it up, and technically its not a mail server, its an e-mail extention.
I just rang optus and they have no problem with this program being used, and im on dialup and they dont have a problem, all im saying is its easier.

no problem dude. Im sorry i assumed you were younger - and the information included in there was not really directed at you, as i could see you knew enough how to fix it (as you had already) - but just to warn those that may not.

FOR DIALUP USERS:
if people are going to use this, and send an email with anything more than 1 recipient, then it will make a connection, and send an individual email to each recipient on the list - unlike if you send via a mailserver its one connection and they distribute from there.

small txt emails, nps - but if you are on dialup, and you want to send that big pic of you naked to 12 different girls, its going to have to be uploaded 12 different times.
