Re: SMTP server in development

Mark,

Not sure I understand the issue ... but if it's access to a SMTP server,
your (current) host should be able to provide you with the credentials to
authenticate with their server. Don't believe you need a separate service
unless your host doesn't provide one.

P.S. Ensure that these credentials are stored securely or encrypted to
prevent spammer from using your SMTP server.
