Oh and BTW, the issue goes away when you upgrade to 8.xx.

Subject: Re: [Vantage] Email Global Alerts
You will find there are several free (or shareware) small mail servers
out there (even for Windows OS). They can be installed on a local
sever. You can direct Vantage to the small internal mail server and set
each client to collect from that server as a separate account to collect
from on the client. This is what I had to do before I brought our
hosting in-house. I can't remember the server I used at the time, but
it was rather basic. All you really need is an SMTP/POP3 server that
allows you to create accounts for your users. A quick search for "free
mail server for windows" on Google turns up tons of results. It's
really a very simple thing to set up. The trick is to find one that
will allow the malformed emails from Vantage. I know the exist because
I used one for a couple years.
Best of luck,
Aaron
