Well, most are and chances are you are, too :)

Windows from 2k on and Linux come with an SMTP server.

To send outside of my local network I need to login to my ISP's
server, or an independent server such as GoDaddy (which I use).

I see you got your problem solved already, but just out of curiosity... If
you can connect with SMTP to GoDaddy (I assume this means that your ISP
lets port 25 through), why can't you have a local SMTP server do the
delivery?

My ISP (Cox) DOES NOT allow connections to other servers via Port 25,
or to Cox' servers from non-Cox origination points.


Adelphia, oops Comcast, servers don't either. The ATT business Internet POP servers allow access from outside the AT&T network though. I have Individual.net for Usenet because I can get to their servers from either (or work, back when that mattered;).


I have AT&T, formerly SBC. Roughly a couple years ago they blocked port 25. Of course out of the blue without prior warning. So I switched it to the alternative port.
