Alas the Emailer Holy Grail would be an OS X version... but that just doesn't seem possible. So any changes I do make are really just putting off the inevitable, that is, Emailer phases totally out of use. I just want to make sure people can or will actually use any changes I make. They come at a decent cost of my time, so I don't really want to do things for the sport of it. But if they will be used, then I'd be happy to at least look into it. >I'm sending this to the list, rather than privately, >because I'm sure that many support his work but don't get around to >expressing their support. I'm not really in this for the Kudos. I freely admit this last hack was entirely self serving. I needed the SMTP Auth abilities, so I did it for me. Same thing with the POP before SMTP hack I did in the past. I needed it, so I did it. The only one that was done entirely for other people was the dual @ hack (I have no use for that, but I saw it popping up so often on the list, I did it to stop the flow of people leaving Emailer). Since the hack does exactly what I need, I have no personal need to spend any more time working on it. BUT, I don't think adding a static resource check will be all that difficult, so IF others could use the single username/password ability that I mentioned, I'd be willing to look into doing it and make it happen if possible. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
