I beavered through the POP3 archives for the thread on Zonnet but came up
empty but ferreting through my own references I found the following:

Zonnet and Xipmail are the only two "SMTP-less" mail services that I keep
in a list of regularly polled accounts. My e-mail client polls
automatically, in alphabetical order, whatever accounts have been set up,
in a particular "Mailbox".
I've used Zonnet with David Harris's server "Mercury Transport" but since I
finally had to abandon the free ISP route and sign up for the local telco's
ISP service, after a short detour to AT&T Canada, I've changed the SMTP
settings for Zonnet to use the local ISP's SMTP server.
The latter is probably what you have been doing all along, Alan.
