I've missed a few too; found out how to disable junk filter now.

Now I can't send mails from my subscribed account, as the postmaster 
address is full, an sf checks that before sending the mails to the 
list. Grr.

Ah ok then, I see.

Thanks.

Tried the new code Daniel - it seems to work although the sign in 
window keeps popping up at every NSServer command. It looks nicer with 
my log window though. If you want to see the connection logging, I have 
uploaded the files here:

http://si-msn.port5.com/NetWatch.zip

Unzip somewhere, open the project file and drag all the files apart 
from the NetWatchApp one into the bme project. This will add the files 
and the paths.

Now go into the MSNServerHandler and change the first line of the 
constructor:
	conexion = new BNetEndpoint();
to:
	conexion = new WatchNetEndpoint(name);

You'll need to #include "WatchNetEndpoint.h" in that file too.

Have fun, and don't close the window while the endpoint is still 
connected and sending data.
