Costly? Unless you know for 100% certain it is being filtered out based on the IP address being logged as a spammer somewhere, changing SMTP servers won't do diddly-squat... In other words, if the email LOOKS like a spam, and the spam filters are kicking in based on content, then it don't matter where it comes from. If, in fact, the IP you use to send email is in a list of known spammers (which is far too easy to happen) and then the email is getting blocked for that reason, finding another host to run email out is pretty much just finding another webhost. There presumably are "specialists" who handle bulk email that you can pay just for sending email, but their prices may well be no better than just setting up a different cheap webhost, unless you have SUPER high volume email. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
