Personally I use, and have always used GNU-Emacs.

>From time to time pronlems arose which I solved by signing up with
"smtp2go" [FREE if small volume] and my domain host "dnsexit" [20$
per month as backup] so  my ",authinfo" file looks thusly:

machine smtp.smtp2go.com            login [email protected]       port 587  
password GUESS
machine smtp.smtp2go.com            login [email protected]       port 25   
password GUESS
machine smtp.smtp2go.com            login [email protected]       port 2525 
password GUESS
machine relay.dnsexit.com           login algarveserversrelay port 940  
password WHEREYOUFROM
machine news.eternal-september.org  login inconnu             port 119  
password FOOLEDYOu

Just a word of warning though, .....free.fr manage to deeo six anything
with "gmail" in the address, etc section and so do "proxad".the parent
company of FF and seceral others.

So I just use my iPhome for gmail to certain mailboxes wich I set im my
configs.

My main addresses inbound via are freeshell/sdf.org and they seem to
take anythind, nor hace I experienced any problems other than gmail with
proxad/free.


Just my 2 bits worth.
