Need an ISP??

Notorious Lee · 18 Oct 2008 at 20:04

Hi guys,

I have currently hit a road block developing & testing an intranet site I am working on.

I am currently using BT as my ISP but they require email SMTP authentication which is a b*tch when it comes to developing online forms.

So can anyone recommend me an ISP I can use (preferably free) which doesn't require SMTP authentication?

Thanks.

Well BT Yahoo requires a username & password which is causing me problems when sending an online form because it gives me the SMTP Authentication error.

So are you saying GMail doesn't require SMTP authentication?

Hi Adz,

I have had a look at this Sendmail program which looks quite complex to set-up.

I can't believe that there is nothing out there I can use to send email that doesn't require any authentication.

Everything that people have recommended I cannot get my head around because I am no where near as experienced as most of you guys.

Thanks for your advice Adz but once I have downloaded sendmail I don't even know where to start.

At the minute I am just developing it on my own laptop with Windows XP.

Like I say the problem I am having is emailing online forms. Everyhting else is working fine.

Hi Adz

I'm actually using Apache for my web server.

Also, I have opened a gmail account but they also require authentication don't they?
