Exactly!! I go with the $40 plan just because I'm so pleased with the company's service. The downside to sharing a single SMTP account across multiple customers is that your account name and password can be discovered and reused by unscrupolous customers. Two solutions: Have each customer pay for their own SMTP account or encrypt your account name and password in a config file and use the SSL version of SMTP to send your emails. The SSL version of SMTP hides your account name and passwords from network sniffers and, in general, is a better way to go. A 3rd alternative would be to create a webservice on a cheap hosted server and use this service to send your emails.
