Re: Testing email connection to the outside world

Chuck,

I used SNDEMAIL to send a message to rob@innagoddadavidababy.com, using my
notes address as my sender.  It came to my notes account with the
following, but, if the connection is down to our ISP, or if they are belly
up, would I get the same message?

Also, I may be in touch about your offer.

<Rob, How about using one of the anonymous email services out there? Any
email
sent to the "fake" email address would be routed back to your real email
address (in Notes). I haven't used any anonymizers (is that a word!) so I
don't
know how quickly they pass the mail along.>

I played around with some a few years back (some of the bigger ones at the
time) and it was VERY hit and miss on turn around time...

What about just sending it out to an address you know would be bogus and
waiting/watching for that error email coming back ?

Additionally I could set something up on our email server here for you if
that
would help ?
