This is a mail server program that can send email directly to recipients without going through the ISP.
Local SMTP Server Pro is a SMTP server program that lets you send email messages without the help of your ISP. The gateway sends mails directly from your local PC to recipient mailboxes. There is no restriction on which mail client you use. You can continue to use the one you favor. The product could be very useful for people on the move and who may have to switch ISP often. Privacy also is a little enhanced as the mail goes through a private server of your own rather than the SMTP server of the ISP. The firewall available with the server will protect you from external accesses via the Internet.
The interface layout is simple and should be easy to understand even for beginners. The program checks to see if port 25 has been blocked by the ISP. If you opt for direct delivery to the recipient then it will check the list of SMTP gateways you are required to provide. It will then try to send the mail via one of these. The tool will try the gateways one by one from the list. The interface provides the controls needed for creating a list of these gateways; like add, delete, etc. On the left you have a tree of the various settings options. Most commonly, you get blocked by an ISP if you have been sending bulk mail or there were spam complaints. This application appears to be a way around that. So the individual user should be very careful about spam.
