BT Total Broadband question

I have several domain names which I regularly send mail from obviously
by changing the SMTP server to my Isp's one, however I am thinking of
changing to BT Total broadband and have heard they don't have a SMTP
server is this correct or does the SMTP mail server mail.btinternet.com
work with BT total broadband?.

The sooner you fall behind the more time you'll have to catch up.

There have been no changes to BTs SMTP server, I still use
mail.btinternet.com and there are a number of other names that appear to go
to the same server, although it may be that the actual server is operated by
Yahoo who are partnered with BT. The only thing to be aware of is that the
server requires authentication (the authentication is the same as for the
POP3 server).

Thanks Keith, so presumably that would be your BT username and
password?

I send mail through my domain so I'm not reliant on any ISP's mail
servers. Also means when I take the laptops out they still work rather
than me having to change SMTP details all the time.

Further to this, the authentication details can be whatever you set up as a
primary/secondary user/password combination.
