Hi there. I'm trying to write something that will enforce a message size limit, intended for use over a modem connection. The other catch: No ESMTP. It has to be workable with bog-standard SMTP. Is there a way of doing this without having to wait for all 10Mb of a message to squeeze its way down a 28k8 phone line? I know just kicking the connection will make the sending server treat it as a 4xx error and retry later. What I want to do is to somehow tell it to get lost and don't bother retrying if the message hits a particular size threshold. -- -- Michael "Soruk" McConnell Eridani MailStripper -- www.eridani.co.uk/MailStripper -- Uncovers Everything!
