Re: multiple SMTP Server for one Account
Hello John, As one member suggested earlier today, X-Ray discussion belongs to TBOT list. Hence I cross post to both TBUDL & TBOT. Anybody interested in X-Ray, please continue it at TBOT.

Instead of talking to remote SMTP/POP3 server directly, your email client now talks to X-Ray which in turn sends or receives messages from remote server. Why anybody wants to do that? You ask. 1) It enables you to manipulate email header. Modify X-mailer header is just one example. There are other situations it proves to be useful. For example, one client's SMTP server is set up in such a way that any message sent from it have the the domain name of the from/reply-to field replaced with that of the client. So emails sent by my colleagues who work on site bear wrong from/reply-to address. With X-Ray, I am able to fix this problem by replacing the from/reply-to field by filter. 2) Automatic SMTP switching. It is most useful when your SMTP server restricts access by IP. Since TB chooses SMTP server based on the account, if TB talks to remote server directly, you have to either manually change SMTP setting or use different email account to cope with IP change. Both are not very desirable. By talking to a local client like X-Ray, you are relieved from worrying about it. -- Regards, Anthony I am not a great programmer.
