[FX.php List] [OT] Client asking about installing plugin on server

[Gaith Bader]

Hi,

Which version of FM server are you talking about here?
We are using it in our legacy databases in server v5.5 on os x
and I have to say SMTP-it seems to have some leak issues
  that after a while will simply freeze and will only work properly
after a restart. The more the plug in is used the faster the freeze
happens.

If he wants he can switch to apple script, something like XMail
for example and it is for free too (of course that only works if he
is using os x as his platform).

Regards,
