this lets you use gmail's smtp server in case you can't use your own. _I_ have never had trouble with this - but bunches of people at the office who are on optimum.net are constantly having trouble with our smtp server at work. I have no idea what the cable company's doing to block it - but it gets blocked. Perhaps it would help if our smtp server at work used login! Hello! Stupid CI host - get your act together - why do _I_ always have to be watching over our server 24 hours a day --- isn't that what I pay _you_ for?!
