A well-designed hotel/motel/coffee shop system will detect outgoing connections to port 25 and redirect them to its own SMTP server. Unfortunately, not all are well-designed. If you have a .Mac account, you can use the .Mac SMTP server from anywhere, but it wants you to use your .Mac address as the return address on the mail. I've lately been using the authenticated SMTP server at Gmail. If you have a free Gmail account, their SMTP server seems to work from nearly anywhere. If you don't have one, let me know, and I'll send you an invitation. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
