RE: ExChSrv sends multiple copies of emails to users via POP3

Hello Charles

How do I determine my ISP's smarthost?

In Australia my ISP is called TPG
www.tpg.com.au
SMTP server is mail.tpg.com.au
DNS Servers Primary - 203.12.160.35 /36 respectively

I know what the mail server is? But I am unfarmilar with the smarthost
structure?

Please advise
