Hi Guys,
Does anyone have experience or sample code that makes direct connections to email recipients instead of connecting to a SMTP server?
I'm having trouble finding a reliable third-party SMTP server that doesn't cost a bomb and want to investigate this method, which "cuts out the middle man", if you will. After searching around, I know it is possible but may be a lot of work! (the server responses would need to be checked). I have a permanent 4.5mb connection so running an actual SMTP server may be an option.
Note: I want to use this method for opt-in mailing lists only for my site (www.kgpsoftware.com), private lists, no spam, etc.
Any thoughts are welcome..
