[Gambas-user] Sending mails "solved"

[Randall Morgan]

A little food for thought....

I am not sure about Yahoo or Google over seas but here in the US Google for
sure, and I believe Yahoo both will not accept mail from a home server. I
used to run my own mail servers and still do but with the limitation that I
cannot send mail to Google without having a paid Google account for each
domain. Google and many free mail suppliers did this to combat spam. I have
not tried in a year or so to send from any of my domains that do not have a
paid google account attached. So if they reversed this, I am unaware.

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done.
The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
