177025 - better use of multiple SMTP servers

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 52384

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, enhancement)

Description

[kaido loor]

i have multiple SMTP servers (for office and for GPRS connection) and need to
manually switch between them when i change the internet connection. instead of
manual switching of the SMPT server Mozilla could:
1. send an-mail message to all SMTP servers at the same time (and cancel sending
if one sending has been successful), or
2. use all SMTP servers in the list one by one until the sending is successful,
instead of prompting an error, or
3. when an error occurs then would display a list of other SMTP servers an [send
message using this SMTP server] button/selection.

This perhaps should be considered as a suggestion to be implemented at the same
time as any solution to bug 96207? Just a thought...
