It is highly likely that you will need to use different smtp
servers, depending on what machine you are sending email from.
In most cases, ISP's don't allow rerouting. For instance,
if I am testing from my own machine, I have to use smtp.gci.net.
If the finished product is running on my domain, then my cgi
program must use postoffice.cniweb.net.
I automate this by testing the first octet in system/options/cgi/remote-addr
I can be fairly certain that if I am testing on my machine, I will
find one of the following as the first octet:
private-octets: [192 10 172 127]
;thus:
if find private-octets pick to-tuple system/options/cgi/remote-addr 1
[testing: true]
I believe that the elements in 'private-octets are inclusive of
any reserved for private networks and loop-backs. If I'm
wrong - please somebody tell me! :>)
And of course, all assumptions above are based on sending
email from a CGI program.
