Re: CGI as go-between

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're looking at using it as a proxy.

GETURI or HTTPAPI will act as the in between.  I do it for a few customers
myself.

Customer ---> your web server ---> GETURI ----> web serverice

and then back.

Emails - When emails are sent using MAILTOOL Plus or another addon, those
emails are logged and you have the ability to resend them one by one, or as
a batch (ie, all unsent emails at once).
