Darren Kitchen Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Your web host should offer a SMTP server, I'd check there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 smtp.yahoo.com ? smtp.karoo.co.uk / smtp.karoo.net ? perhaps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 smtp.yahoo.com ?smtp.karoo.co.uk / smtp.karoo.net ? perhaps ? good luck finding an open proxy in this day and age. try localhost, if that fails contact your isp. if you're running this on a home webserver you might have your work cut out for you.,.

VaKo Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If you have a static IP you could roll your own with qmail, sendmail or exim. It will work on a dynamic IP, but there is a good chance most big email houses will reject it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Postfix... it's faster and more secure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
