- Yes, you understood correctly the problem but the answer is very wrong!
- If I do what you say then I run into an infinitte loop, since machineA
- will send a copy to B and B itself to A again! Meaning that just one
- copy of the mail if going to be bouncing back and forth between the two
- machines. I just one ONE copy in each machine.
-
- If you want to know why I want this, is because sometines I can't connect
- to Machine A but I can to machine B (busy lines, server busy, etc) and
- if I have a copy of my mail in both machines I will have more possibilities
- of reading it.
