That's what it does, yes. It's the site of the people who wrote the program.

If it's there, it's probably working, Clint. But you can test it. Use 
an smtp from one of your domains and try to send mail without 
authenticating. It should stop you. The only problem is if you're 
using a provider to get on line that doesn't allow smtp from anyone 
but themselves -- like most of the big ones now. Then, you won't be 
able to use your smtp for anything at all -- you have to use theirs.

And then, THEY will stop you before your send email. LOL

Nothing anyone can do about that -- it's the policy many providers 
are following now.

For a fuller explanation, I'd suggest the list archives because 
there's been a huge amount of material on this program over the last 
few months.
