Thank you for your reply. But I am not sure that we are on the same
page here. I do not see how I can set this up so as to provide users of
my software with such a functionality. The software I develop is a
client software. I do not want to run a server and provide a service. I
want to provide a client software that uses the e-mail service of
existing providers.
