You are missing the point. How often do these things have to
be done? How difficult is it to install two different MTA's as things
stand?

If you do not know, I do not think you should really be
participating in this discussion. If you do know, you perhsaps should
not be participating here with this inflamatory stance either.

And how commohn a practice do you think that is?

Bullshit. You have totally missed the point of my message, and
have the gall to come in with a cendescending flammage that is ill
condusive to any further discussion. Until you show you have the
basic understanding of what is called the common case, I have nothing
to say to you.
