Well, I agree that there should be a way to tell JNOS to always default to an smtp gateway.<BR>
<BR>
But I think the thought process way back when all this was developed was that jnos should<BR>
attempt the shortest path first, which meant using a gateway last.<BR>
<BR>
But, the upside is, if your station is setup correctly, even if jnos tries direct connects first, (and<BR>
they all get rejected due to bad authentication), then it tries your gateway, and it goes through,<BR>
*** the speed at which all this takes place is still so fast there is *almost* no noticable delay<BR>
in the mail reaching its destination.<BR>
<BR>
From *failed first* to *gateway success* delivery, is usually still less than 5-10 seconds.<BR>
<BR>
That's still pretty fast for email delivery.<BR> <BR>
