As a follow-up, I tested SMTP:

Appears that they don't offer SMTP, as I couldn't relay to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as "blue-velvet" even tho I have been popping it, and ehlo does not
list AUTH as a feature, so they don't support SMTP AUTH either.
I do love that statement "is syntactically correct"... So very British!
