Hi all,

I wonder if someone (hoping Mr M B Smith) could answer this. My set  up  is
this  Amitcp 4 demo using GRn 2.1, AmiPOP 3 and Smtppost and a mail program
supplied in Amitcp package. I have an old problem where  I  cannot  use  my
regular   Emailer  (Elm  v8)  to  send  mail  to  my  helpdesk  at  my  ISP
(dircon.co.uk) as  the  mail  will  be  sent  straight  to  my  hardisk  in
(uumail:helpdesk). But i am not to worried about this as I will use my mail
(mail from Amtcp package ) program to send mail thus in a CLI -:

1> mail rcpt=helpdesk@dircon.co.uk
Subject:a message
<open up fave editor>
EOT
mail has been sent.

if need be, However there is down side to this is that the  return  address
is  not  set  correctly.  so  therefore they cannot reply without having to
*specify* the return address to reply. But strangely I found this  file  in
my  T:  directory. It was a reply to my Email but I did not request Amipop3
to get mail and it did not appear in my mail box  via  Elm.  The  file  was
called  SMTP.0  this  to  me  seems like the Smtpd doing somthing? The file
contents is as folows. Please could someone Email the answer if you can  as
well as posting in the newsgroup.

Hi Kevin,

We are working with BT on the problem at the moment. I don't have an idea
of the extent of the problem yet but I hope it will be resolved before
you next try to connect.
