    Yeah but more and more ISPs aren't allowing their SMTP to send email
from accounts that aren't on their system. Roaming users require a single
SMTP server for their hosted domain based email. Case in point: my office's
mail server will only relay email based on our domain's email addresses. So
in this case I couldn't send email out using their internet connection with
my personal domain. Thus the need for an external SMTP server from my ISP
(office)...
    What do you thinkg of Don's suggestion of popauth? It looks like a good
idea to me.
