Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info, that was the most fun I've ever had signing up for
something. Signed up with both of them. Should anyone else care to, be
sure to use the servers listed in this email for the second one and not the
ones that they give you on the site, as I did at first. Also, if anyone is
interested, the quotas on these are 10mb for the first one and 4mb for the
second.
Cheers,
Greg
PS. Paul, the second one likely setup their smtp server like all good ISPs
should, and that is to restrict it to their local IP addresses, hence why it
doesn't allow relaying.
