SMTP AUTH
NoCat
Sorry? How does NoCat help me send email when I'm using a BT Openzone or T-Mobile hotspot?
The short term solution is to either set up your own post office or rent space at one that supports SSL and SMTP AUTH.
The long term solution is to persuade all ISPs to support SSL and AUTH so that their customers can use their email account from anywhere on the web in safety. I believe this is in the interests of ISPs anyway. With the increasing use of Wireless and like technologies they no longer have control over the edge of their networks. So they should no longer assume that just because email comes from one of their IPs it's automatically legitimate. But I'm not holding my breath.
