That doesn't make sense. Your SMTP settings would be the same no matter
what "personality" you were using.
Example:
Personality one:
SMTP: mail.earthlink.net
POP3: www. yourdomain.com
Logon: logon-at-your-domain (RAQ hosted)
From: yourname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Personality two:
SMTP: mail.earthlink.net
POP3: mail.earthlink.net
Logon: ELN/your-ELN-login
From: yourname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You receive your email on personality ONE. Now hit reply. You can't logon
to ELN with your.domain.com.logon, you need ELN/your-ELN-logon. So you
need to change the personality before you send your reply as Eudora
doesn't know how to automatically receive with ONE and send with TWO, it
has to be told. Outlook (for whatever reason a human being would use it)
makes it even harder than this.
So personality TWO works fine for send and receive, but all mail received
on ONE has to go out with TWO so it can logon to ELN.
If you never receive mail at your own domain you're fine. It may work if
you forward all your-domain mail to your ELN address then just use
personality TWO for send and receive, but that seems like a big waste of
bandwidth and resources.
Does this make sense - I've been through it, it's why I don't use ELN
myself anymore.
