We have implementations of SMTP and HTTP in PEAR, but you could use sendmail or curl for those. The point of new functionality is increased flexibility and this would provide that. You don't have to use it, it's just another container. This could always bee one of those "sub-packages" that you install if you want it. Log_rotate or some such. -- paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
