Scott, I didn't mean to imply that it was an issue, just pointing out to those folks out there who were asking how to set this. My guess was that those folks were connecting to port 110 and not port 25 so I showed both answers to prove that it was changed as stated by IPSwitch.
Yes, it would have been nice for consistency because I can already see the posts from those who might not understand the difference and do a telnet to port 110 and complain that 706HF2 did not change the positioning of the X1 response. But as you pointed out, it is compliant and that's what matters most. Steven > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of R.
