Sorry to be dense, what do those abreviations mean?
I have a standard Demon dialup account and use Linux. I listen on port 25
and let Demon SMTP the mail to me. I then parse the mail via Blackmail anti
spam filter which drops the connection after spam in order to reject it (the
Demon software seems to ignore rejections during the DATA section.)
Consequently I would find it useful to be able to kick Demon to send the rest
of my mail.

Yes, I could use POP and then anti-spam the messages, but I'm too busy /lazy.
