Howto use insight as standalone to send mail

2000-07-29 Thread Howard Schwartz
Well, so far, arachne's insight has been the only transport agent that reliably sends mail to my smtp server (I've recently tried x_mailn.exe and smtpop12.exe; they did not work). However, I prefer to receive/read mail with other software. So I wonder: How do I use insight.exe as a standalone pro
