Hi all,
	What advantage or disadvantage I have when type two (o more) SMTP
servers in my file pine.conf on redvax1 system??? 

	Example : smtp-server=redvax1.dgsca.unam.mx,redvax2.dgsca.unam.mx
                                    ^
				    |- my system...

	It will help me to support the demand of electronic mail on my 
machine when "redvax1" is very busy???

	I did read the tech notes of pine about it... but I not understand
very well yet ... 
  Thank's in advance...

Pine will use the first server listed unless it fails to respond, in 
which case it tries the next one in the list.  If the second one fails to 
respond, it will try the third one, etc.
