[dba-Tech] OT: looking for SMTP relay server solution in Spain

I got a Mail yesterday from my customer saying it was solved.
I check the headers and indeed he uses the telefonica SMTP server, so I
asked what the problem was but I have no  answer yet.

However I'm guessing that port 25 was maybe closed. The technician sayd,
when first installed, that something would not work until a port was
opened and that it would take 24 hours to open the port.
But it was over the week-end so maybe openinging the port took longer
than promised.

You could perhaps use Web2Mail but I don't know how secure or stable it
is.
It relays POP3 to a web server,
I also dont know about archival retrieval of mail, ie can you download
to another site.
