and why is that so ? Which public SMTP server are you using ? I've used hotpop and gmx and they are pretty good and i've never experienced the delays that you're talking about.

yes. You can setup sendmail/postfix/exim on your machine but that would hardly solve the problem. Your IP address would be the problem here. Most mail servers on the net refuse to accept mail from known dial up IP pools. Yahoo will, for example, accept the mail and put it in the bulk mail folder.

If you reeeeaaaalllllyyyy wanna write your own SMTP server, get the required RFC and learn a some socket programming though I still don't think that would solve your problem. google is your friend here :)
