Mailhop Outbound

Today I changed my mail server to use a Mailhop outbound server for outgoing e-mails. Previously I was using the verizon SMTP server for sending messages. A lot of SPAM filters like Spamhaus block e-mails from dynamically allocated IP addresses, but an easy workaround is to configure an external mail relay service to send e-mails for the server. I can relay up to 300 e-mails per day for $20 dollars a year, which can also be upgraded to a higher value as the server gets more use.
