Some people recommend you install
SMTP mail server software on your local machine and
get it to send mail direct. We do not recommend this
for the following important reasons:
- Your mail is more likely to be
caught as SPAM - the IP addresses allocated to dialup
and broadband accounts do not usually have the correct
(forward and reverse) DNS entries required for SMTP
servers.
- Some email servers (including some
of the major email providers!) block email from IP
addresses used by dialup and broadband users of other
ISP's.
- More and more ISP's are blocking
outgoing SMTP (port 25) as an anti-SPAM prevention
measure - stopping your machine sending SMTP mail
directly.
- Why install additional software
on your machine (which may incur cost, poses possible
security risks and will require periodic updates /
maintenance) when AuthSMTP is low
cost and you can send your email direct from your
email program!
AuthSMTP does not suffer from these
problems and is a low cost and reliable 'authenticated
SMTP mail relay service' - click here
