I think Hamster does what you need. I don't have the URL, but somebody
else in this list will.

.. to the target POP server. You don't touch the recipient's SMTP
server.

No, a mailer delivers mail to an SMTP server. Differnt functions.

Bloat.

It would. I wouldn't want it, because it is faster and easier for me
to just deliver to my ISP's SMTP server and let it do the rest while
I'm offline. You see, if you need to connect to the recipient's POP
server, that probably on another continent, and depending on your
bandwidth (average 1.5k/s over here) that takes expensive on-line
time. If the POP server is down or unreachable for some reason, you
have to try again later - something I don't worry about when using my
ISP's SMTP server.
That's about all I know about it. ;-)
