Better to get him on another ISP that allows it. The RAQ seems to use a bit
of resources for the POP before SMTP and when the typical user decides to
send that 5MB mp3 file to all their friends via the server, and a couple of
them require several attempts by the server to deliver it, well... you know
the rest. I'm looking to take it off as soon as I can teach a couple of
users how to use their ISP's mail server.
