Which is exactly what people are used to from email clients: my address may be "jens@mac.com" but I have to enter "mail.mac.com" as the IMAP host in my account setup dialog. But I agree it's nice for the client to be able to determine this itself. Do any of the existing open-source Unix clients do this SRV lookup, so I can look up [sic] how it's done? —Jens</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
