RIGHT! There NEEDS to be.

I know of TWO MAJOR ISP's that are BEGGING for such clients to become
available.  It seems trivial to impliment. The ONLY drawback that I can
see to it is that there is NOTHING in the mail headers that will show what
IP address actually sent the mail.

I used telnet to port 110 of my provider, did:

USER my-username
PASS my-password
Xtnd Xmit

typed out message with a dot on a blank line at the end.

QUIT

and I got the message.  It worked fine.

is a waste of money also tell us that we have been visited by aliens?
