NT WS SMTP Server hosting on RackSpace Cloud

[Johan van Zyl]

To send emails when  hosting on RackSpaceCloud - which SMTP Server can be used?
On my development PC I use smtp.saix.net (I think)

[Bruce]

you will likely need to install your own email server on the machine to send emails.

The saix one is unlikely to allow you to route mails through their server from an IP address "outside" the IP address they've issued to your ADSL router.

I can recommend

As a possibility, but there are lots of mail servers out there, some of them free, so choose whichever one you prefer.
