I think this has been asked in the past, but maybe someone knows an up to date answer. My current ISP is Demon and I am on a standard dial-up account which provides me with an SMTP mail feed. I therefore run an SMTP server which has a Pegasus gateway and it is configured to reject mail from various places. I am now considering switching to Demon ADSL but, for some reason, they don't provide an SMTP feed for the home ADSL packages! This means that, if I go with Demon rather than trying to find someone else who does provide an SMTP for a home package, I will have to reconfigure my Pegasus settings to get POP3 mail. Obviously it is beneficial to be able to reject messages in my SMTP server as they are bounced back as rejected but, as far as I can see, that isn't possible with POP3 - the best I could do was leave any messages I didn't want on the server and wait for them to be returned as non-deliverable. So does anyone know if Pegasus, or any Pegasus add-ons, can be configured to do this rather than download the messages (which obviously means they will be 'delivered' and then filter them. I know you can use the selective download, but I get hundreds of messages a day and that isn't really feasible for me. Any help or suggestions including suggestions of other uk based ISPs that provide an SMTP feed and cost less than �25 a month would be appreciated.
