POP does not support sending of mail (at least, not per the standard I am aware of, there may be proprietary extensions for it). IMAP does, and SMTP does. Most ISPs provide a non-open SMTP relay server for their clients.

oh thats right... dialup ISPs can have internal servers only visible to their clients, i forgot about that. i tend to use between 3 and 5 different services thru any given day, so anything i want to access needs to be visible through the public net. i guess people will need to either use an internal server, or use VPN then. and you are right, pop is incoming (to client) only - i had thought it might do something since it supports authentication, alas i was wrong.
