It's your ISPs outbound smtp server. The idea is you can set your MTA to forward all outbound mail to it and it'll handle delivery to the final destination. As it has a static IP it's supposed to be more reputable (for lack of a better word) than your smtp server on a dynamic IP address. Personally I'm not a big fan, I prefer having direct control over any queued mail and anything that goes out from a box of mine. regards, Paul ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
