OK, I have checked Dynaccess. To use smtp-relay, you need one of the
"HeartBeat" services. The per-hour limitations makes these not
practical for me. I have a burst of mails in the evening when my
auctions ends and my server handles the "sold-item" mails.

20 mails/hour for HB-A (@89 EUR/year) is not enough. 50 mail/hour
for HB-B (@ 120 EUR/year) is on the edge. Ans HB-C with 100 mail/hour
is 150 EUR/year.

I'll probably run some further tests with the smtp/mime tools in
Python and replace the smtp parts of TCPIP/Services (for outgoing
mails) all together. Then I also can stay with my ISP for mails.

The tools in Python seems ot be far better then MIME.EXE and similar
in TCPIP/Services. Allso supports TLS directly.

Thanks for the tips anyway !

Jan-Erik.
