Finally, a Cure for the Mobile E-mail Relay Blues
So, I'm on the road with a laptop for the first time, and I try to send an e-mail from Outlook. Uh-uh, not gonna do it, says Outlook. Hmm, it seems that my outgoing (SMTP) mail server won't let me send e-mail when I'm not in the friendly confines of their network. I guess if you could do that, spammers would wreak even more havoc than they already do. Fair enough.
But, what to do? So, I go searching for a solution to the problem, and I find SMTP.com thanks to a Google AdWords ad. In all of the research I did in organic search results, I never found them. But thanks to the wonders of paid search ads, I got what I needed. Problem solved!
SMTP.com isn't free, but it is worth every single penny of the $49.95 annual fee for e-mail roadies like I have become. Yeah, you could use Yahoo Mail or Hotmail on the road, but if you want to look professional, that wouldn't be too smart.
