SMTP Relay Email Service

Use BT Broadband (or another ISP like AOL) that doesn't supply an Outgoing (SMTP) service (for anything other than your ISPs email address)? Need to send emails from your domains name? Having trouble sending email when you are away from the office (or on holiday)? Need to have a copy of all sent emails forwarded to a backup address? Need to send large emails which are blocked by your ISP? Need to use a port other than 25 (because its blocked by your ISP)?

If you answered 'yes' to any of the above then you need our 1st Class SMTP relay service!

Fantastic features

• No limits on email size sent
• Use from any where at any time (even when away from the office)
• Use with any number of email addresses (including your domain name)
• High volume usage accounts available
• Still works even if your ISP blocks port 25 (the 'normal' port for sending email) as our system also works on port 225

How does this service work?

When you send an email, your email program (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) will connect to our server to send the email. Our server is able to authenticate you using the user name and password we supply when you sign up, rather than on the basis of where you are connecting from, so you can use our outgoing mail server regardless of how you connect to the internet.

Thus, our service is ideal if you regularly travel, or if you use a broadband connection that has unreliable (or even non-existent) outgoing mail facilities.

You are not limited to sending mail from just one email address either. The service operates by giving each person a user name and password. You input these into your email client, eg Microsoft Outlook. When it connects to us, it uses these details to authenticate you as a user. If you then want to send email from different email address altogether, you just set your email client up appropriately.

To use our service, your email program should support "smtp-authentication". Almost all popular email programs do support this feature (eg Outlook, Netscape etc). If you are not sure please click here.

Email backup system

As an optional extra we can configure your account so that the mailserver forwards a copy of each email sent to a designated address. This means you can keep a copy of all your sent emails somewhere else. This service adds 50% to the cost of your chosen account.
