I think smarthost mechanism should be the approach. would you have externally registered domain and individual email ids for each user ? then talk to your ISP for an incomming mail hold and relay service. otherwise there was a method of using your ISP provided singular email id to cater to serveral internal users depending on their names. i think fetchmail with some other program could do the trick. get to linux journal article archives describing such a scenario. --hizibiz I amlookingat 2 things here, > namely reliality of mail delivering and speed. > Knowing typical Indian scenario better what do you suggest? > > With warm regards, > -Payal > > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
