>>Yes, of course, you are right. Let me describe the problem. And some of it I don't quite understand but I am sure you will. The customer tells me that they want to use DHCP to get IP address dynamically (on client PCs). But they say that they cannot do it because of my application. Supposedly, if I understand correctly, the SMTP is somehow "tied" to IP. And if IP of the machine changes, the SMTP cannot be used. Therefore for PCs that use my application they have to assign static IPs. Does it make sense?

I agree with you and this is how I understand things work. But Hilmar's message kind of, sort of explains the problem. Let me ask him directly for a follow up explanation.
