That would be a possible sollution, yes. I'll research further (see below). The point is this is not just my case. Most BIG mail providers seem to have a gateway mailer in the front that is not aware of mail accounts.

I don't need passwords, just a list of valid logins. And then use that as a filter, at the 'smart' gateway. Thanks for pointing me to the correct direction, Kris. -- Yves Junqueira www.lynx.com.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
