The RFC defines a gateway as this: A "gateway" SMTP system (usually referred to just as a "gateway") receives mail from a client system in one transport environment and transmits it to a server system in another transport environment. Unfortunately, a "transport environment" is not defined by the RFC. I consider submission via HTTP to be sending mail over a transport environment. I think it's a reasonable interpretation, but alas... the RFC doesn't say.

I know I'm right, just as I know that emacs is the ultimate text editor. :) Regards, David. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
