Anywhere left to get a free/cheap smtp server?

[MJGunn]

Ok, heres the problem. I setup a website for my parent's business and got it hosted with netcom (which is now merged with earthlink), which is fine for them. Its cheap, dependable, and never gives them any problems. EXCEPT for when they go away on vacation. Earthlink provides an incoming mail server for their domain, but for outgoing mail, they have them use our ISP's (comcast). When they go away a couple of times a year, they use my grandmother's AOL account (all they do when they're down there is check their e-mail, so theres not really a point to them subscribing to their own dial up ISP). This of course, causes a problem, because AOL doesn't have a smtp server for them to use. I used to have them setup using yahoos, but that went away, and now I'm stuck. Anyone have any suggestions?

NetIdentity

Been using it for 2 years. Wonderful service. Cheap too.

Looks great, cheap too, thanks. Question though, when I had them setup on yahoo, I could mess with the "from" field so it would look like it was coming from their regular e-mail address, and when people would hit reply, it would go to their regular e-mail. Do you know if I can do that with net identity?

Yes.

signed up, for some reason it wouldn't work the first time I tried to use it with my regular account typed in for the "from" field, got bounced back saying they don't support spam, but now, it seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help
