Yes, with a username and password, and for now I can use my own whilst
applying for a suitable "corporate " one I guess. I'm guessing that
most n3 smtp servers require some sort of authentication, either by IP
whitelist or account?
One slight niggle is that the smtp server will only accept mail with a
"from" address matching the account address, i get why I just would
prefer to be able to specify "noreply@..."
It is all damnably fiddly, and as such for the cogniscenti or
enthusiasts only all this networky stuff. Would be nice if there was
an N3 hosting company who would take care of all the techy stuff and
give a nice user interface ala www hosting.
