Re: [cobalt-users] Qube2 Mailing Lists

Thanks for the additional illumination.  I was getting my dates from the 
message headers.  I was using IMAP from a workststion on the local LAN 
and OE was set to check every 5 minutes.  I would have accepted a 5 
minute turn around, but it was far greater.

Ok.  This makes sense.  Is sendmail multi-threaded?  Can it only send 1 
message at a time?  

In a previous life I administered a VAX running PMDF for VMS ... multiple 
SMTP channels, etc, etc, etc ... it kicked!  It had a very functional web 
based administration system. 

It would be real nice if the Cobalt GUI displayed the contents of the 
mail queue etc instead of simply reporting that SMTP, POP, and IMAP have 
been running since ...

WRT modifying the "reply-to" ... making the change to list.config works 
fine.  It would be nice if the Cobalt GUI allowed this to be "toggled".

Cheers,  Malcolm
