If you are on a dynamic service, such as DSL or cable, chances are you won't
be able to send direct SMTP either. Many places block dynamic address space.
If your ISP is being blocked, you should work with them to try and identify
the cause and resolve it!

Pro? I can't find useable directions anywhere. I need to use it to send mail
from my own computer rather than my hosts, because my host's cant seem to
send email to any hotmail addresses. I want to use Email Workshop to send
out a newsletter to our readers as well. All I know is that I need to
install the IIS Virtual Server as Windows components from the XP Pro CD and
set up the server to 127.0.0.1 but that's about it. Help? Thanks
