Its a lot easier to use than smtp hehe... basically you tell it what you want and you do it, i mean you reged your nick and got an email from Gizmo[at]undergroundnews[dot]com do you really think that i sent every one?

I didn't realize that not all servers did this. Domain Registration, Hosting, Management http://www.dollardns.net
