| It is usually best practice to send out mail through whoever you are connecting to the internet through. For instance, if you are using ZSD to connect to the internet then you should be using one of ZSD's SMTP Servers.

Some users who switch between internet connections frequently have a requirement for an authenticated SMTP service. For this they can use smtp-auth.zsdmail.com. For this option users will also need to select an option saying something to the effect of "My outgoing server requires authentication". How no security or encryption is required. |
