I use Mdaemon, and it works well, but isn't easy to configure and isn't cheap. I suppose Wingate and three separate pop accounts would work, except they have a domain name so not sure if that can be done (I am used to all traffic going into one pop account for a domain name). Anyone have any suggestions out there? Regards robo.	Guest (0)

The format changed somewhat for the worse about a couple of years ago or so,but it is still a good site though not so easy to find things as when they had an ftp site and searchable index.	Guest (0)
