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.
