And what would you put in such "Self contained mail server"? Calling directly to MS-SQL database APIs? Or direct Exchange communication? Active directory sync-up? Do you realize that XMail has to run in a few other OSs than the freaking Winblows? XMail gives you tons of external plug-ins, to accomplish different tasks. Of course, you don't want to write them, and you come whining here. It is plenty of mail servers around, just pick another one. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
