You could try this... run your own SMTP server. I do this on my laptops
because it's so convenient. When on the go, it's hard to tell what type
of Internet connection I'll have, but in the past, it almost always
meant setting up new e-mail accounts in Outlook or modifying existing
ones to send through a different SMTP server.
Running my own server, I have a single account set to send mail through
the server "localhost". The mail is sent from my own computer's SMTP
server no matter what network I'm connected to. Very handy solution!
Win2K has this feature built-in in the form of IIS's SMTP service, if
you install it. On my Win98-based laptop, I use a program called
"Advanced Direct Remailer" from http://www.mailutilities.com/adr/ .
It's US$40 to register, but there's a 30-day trial period to see if it
works for you. There may be cheaper servers available, but I liked the
security features offered by this app. You just configure it, set it to
load with Windows, and it sits there as an icon in the tray.
