It sorts by domain and builds an envelope so that you can send multiple people the same email in one connection. Otherwise you end up spawning a connection for each address in the list. It looks like I will have to rework the code to figure out if the site is shutting me down. Then I will have to hammer him with 100 simultaneous connections, which will tie up more resources on both ends. I wonder how many people do this? -- Craig Shaver, Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 (650)390-0654 http://www.progroup.com/ mailto:craig@progroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
