No, it's just the server API. > if you are writing an interface to the server side of a mail server, > i think something like Net::ESMTP::Server is more appropriate, but > only if you are implementing the protocol rather than writing a > server. My class implements 3 protocols : SMTP, ESMTP and LMTP. ESMTP inherit from SMTP and LMTP from ESMTP (as describe in RFCs). So isn't it a problem to use 3 namespaces (Net::SMTP::Server, Net::ESMTP::Server and Net::LMTP::Server) ? Another problem is that Net::SMTP::Server already exists. -- ______________________________________________________________________ O l i v i e r P o i t r e y
