It's odd that you're getting errors on those services for sending email at your slow rate. You're authenticating when you're sending, right? It'll be hard for you to find a free open relay. – Matt Simmons Jan 6 '10 at 7:30
here is an example of an error with gmail that i think a lot of people experiencing and there is no solution: Mail: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 22sm29773311fkq.54 Thanks – fatNjazzy Jan 6 '10 at 7:35

You think there's no solution to "Must issue a STARTTLS"? Have you considered ISSUING A STARTTLS COMMAND? – womble Jan 6 '10 at 7:45
I dont know what is that mean. i am using a software to send the email and i have the following text boxs: host,user name, password and from email. thanks – fatNjazzy Jan 6 '10 at 7:53

Your software apparently doesn't have the ability to issue a STARTTLS command. Find a new software. – womble Jan 6 '10 at 7:58

You could try msmtp, which is an smtp client that can be used by the system to send mail. You can configure it so it uses the smtp server of your ISP, if that is an option.

Hope this helps.

If that's your situation, you are going to have to install an SMTP server somewhere. It doesn't have to be on that particular machine, it can be somewhere else, but you better configure it to only relay from the particular machine it is serving for (or else you'll be an open relay, and blacklisted real fast).
