yeh, it can get confusing.
it is a subject that has
little interest for many of us
on this newsgroup. so i don't
have much more to offer.
perhaps this might be
helpful:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMTP
also, you might simply post
the question to the experts
who may deal with smtp
on a daily basis like on the
exchange server newsgroup:
http://tinyurl.com/2vuzhp
-----------
as a suggestion you might want
to repost your question there
and also crosspost it here as well.
(to crosspost, just include this
newsgroup address with the other,
separating them with a comma)
the response you get, if any
will be interesting...
