  21. Bummer.  I'm still not sure why, since POP3 uses SMTP and we're using the
  22. PMDF SMTP Server, it doesn't work.  I assume that the PMDF SMTP Server
  23. doesn't invoke PMDF_MAILSHR to send messages?

  27. As far as Eudora is concerned, we've figured out a work-around, we put the
  28. nickname that contains the actual email addresses in the blind CC address
  29. and it doesn't expand it.  We have to include a dummy To: address but it
  30. seems to work.
