Re: Exchange SMTP

Thanks for the backup, Joe. I think berating (if not outright flaming)
posters is just unfriendly and counterproductive.

However, that's some pretty lame outsourced email service (that
won't/can't forward a hosted domain's email via smtp server-to-server
traffic). In general, however, I agree; there are some situations
where POP Connector is preferable, almost exclusively where getting
reliable bandwidth is a problem. Some will say, "bandwidth or
connection dropping is not a problem; sending servers will retry!"
Well, some servers just don't...they OUGHT to, but don't. So, if you
have unreliable Internet service or very limited bandwidth, and you
have to choose between losing some business-critical email or the POP
Connector, I'd (grudgingly) choose the POP Connector.

Exactly. There *are* compelling reasons to stay with POP3. My
main client is one part of a small multi-national whose head
office contracts out its email. My client therefore has *no
way at all* of using SMTP, but must collect its own employees'
email from the communal POP server. We can't even get the mail
forwarded, there is only a mailbox facility.
