Darren Kitchen Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Your web host should offer a SMTP server, I'd check there first. Quote
Rab Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 smtp.yahoo.com ? smtp.karoo.co.uk / smtp.karoo.net ? perhaps ? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted January 22, 2007 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 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
