-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use gmail for my SMTP needs. I have accounts on a couple of unix machines, yahoo, gmail, aim, my business hosted via godaddy and I choose gmail as the default SMTP server for all of them. Works like a charm.
http://lifehacker.com/111166/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server Give them a try. Gmail is free and it can be a good account to pass to sites that you feel may be spam generators. Gmail has web/pop/imap access and has fairly decent spam filters. ___________________________________________________ Sonja Michelle Lina Thomas sonjamiche...@gmail.com "I realized fear one morning, when the blare of the fox-hunters sound.
