smtp relay service

minakshi · 11-21-2008, 02:02 AM

Hello Friends,

I had heard that gmail is providing free smtp relay service, and has
extended limit now a days from 250 smtp relay per day to 500 smtp relay
per day.. Is this correct info?
Actually I want to configure smtp relay service from my free mail Id,
Is that possible.. or I have to purchase any paid service from ISP.

please guide me...
thanks..

Doesn't your ISP provide an smtp relay as part of the basic service? If so, why don't you use that?

thanks for your reply..
But I don't have any idea related to isp services..
In my private network, I have one system with a public IP provided by
BSNL. On which I had configured proxy. and having free gmail and yahoo id.

Can I use any of above for smtp relay?

thanks...thanks a lot.

Your ISP is the company that you use to connect to the internet, so maybe that is BSNL.

Anyway, check with your ISP first.

Hello,
My ISP is not providing smtp relay service for other domain. It's
relay service is limited to its own domain only.

So, please suggest me any other alternative...
thanks..

You should be able to relay any domain through your ISP so long as it's coming from your server or being authenticated as you. Your server should provide the From header.
