RFC 2821? 2821 is SMTP... for message retrieval you want to look at RFC 1939 which is POP3. In RFC 1939 the protocol tells clients how big the message is. The server knows how big it is because it's on the server. The client can tell the server to fetch whatever messages it wants, and so a proper client would ask only for messages that the client has found are smaller than your threshold. -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
