In article <1380@sicsun.epfl.ch>, virchaux@elsti.Epfl.CH (Jacques Virchaux)
says about a beta version of BeaverGate:

I can't speak for GatorMail-Q (StarNine's product), but SMTP\QM from
Information Electronics certainly does not need to register individual users,
either on a POP server or on the bridge.  Naturally, recipients will generally
(though not always!) need to be valid QuickMail users... but SMTP\QM will
properly resolve incoming messages' destinations no matter where they are.  For
example, if a message comes in for John_Doe@yoursite.com and there's no John
Doe on the same server as the SMTP\QM bridge, the message will be correctly
delivered to the John Doe on ANOTHER server at your location, connected by
network.  If there's no such person, the message will go to the Custodian, just
as with any other undeliverable QuickMail message.

SMTP\QM allows you to have an unlimited number of QuickMail senders and
recipients for SMTP mail.  No registration is involved.
