Hi All, I'm going to register a web site (lets say www.123.com) and I was wondering which IF ANY hosting company will allow me to send emails via my current isp and they won't be classe as SPAM i.e. email: ian@123.com At the moment when I send mail certain organisations and HOTMAIL class them as spam because I'm sending via wanadoo but with a none wanadoo account from my other registered domain. So what I'm asking is for a hosting company that allows use of their SMTP and POP3 so they are not classed as spam. LAST QUESTION: How difficult is it to put a email form on your website, do you need the hosting server to have certain config settings or other, any links etc will be greatly appreciated. Regards. Ian

If you've got a web host with pretty much any server-side scripting, it is likely that you can make a sendmail/contact form. For example, check out my page at http://www.james-greenwood.co.uk/contact/. I use a simple PHP script that I wrote myself. Basically, the form passes data onto another PHP script which then sends it using my mail server. :-) James

As to hosting ? - I just recommened DirectSpace.net to another 'poster'... with a domain name (@$15/yr.) - & maybe without - will get the smtp and pop suppt. you're in search of. (And unlimited 'branches' of.) For forms, I finally found a good, simple script - and my host (above) has a cgi-bin of "readymade" scripts plus an scgi-bin for you to have your own installed.
