I can offer that service in the next few days but allas it isnt
free... ( I have to be able to have my beers from time to time (g))
Essentially we are going to use an smtp in a special mode to allow
external logins to send, without getting spammers in it.
It also would include a mailbox on the USA server.
At present I am in the process of testing various email programs to
see what works and doesnt. MS stuff works (outlook), Netscape doesnt,
The bat I will be trying out tomorrow.
Any resulting spam though from any user likely will get his
originating domain banned in the Orb database....
Best regards,
tracer
