Yes, there are some open relays out there. In most cases, it's not because they *want* to donate their resouces to anonymous others, but because some admin didn't do his job and didn't properly secure it. In any case, using one of those servers without authorization isn't ethical at all. Besides, these open relays, even when they appear to work, are so heavily abused by spammers that are blocked almost everywhere; most properly administered servers refuse to accept any message from them. So, I suggest you either install your own SMTP server (paying for the hardware, software, bandwidth, administration, maintenance, etc.) or you get SMTP service from someone else. You could talk to your ISP, they usually provide that service. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]
