- such are the perils of cross-posting...
-
- demon.ip.support (where this thread also appears), is the main platform
- independant support newsgroup for the United Kingdom ISP Demon Internet.
- All of their 60K+ dialup users have their mail delivered by SMTP.
-
- This is done using MX records pointing at store and forward gateways
- which then deliver the mail when the login system detects their arrival
- online....
-
- Of course, without such a system, SMTP would not be the mail delivery
- system of choice.
