Considering VSNL doesn't allow relaying of non vsnl mails and a few others
have either followed suit or didn't allow it from the beginning... most
people with their own domains are forced to use a SMTP relay that is on an
external network. ...

Connect and disconnect 6 minutes apart would be perfect .. considering our
telephone calls are metered every 3 minutes!
