A&A email question from a Nildram (Pipex) Customer

Hi am currently a Nildram customer, but now that Pipex (Nildram's owner) have been bought out by Tiscali, will have to consider my choice of future ISP.

So a question regarding Andrews & Arnold email.

My Nildram email address is [email protected] so far so good, now I have a couple of domain names registered with BT Domains (don't laugh!).

These do not have any mailbox's associated with them, all they do is forward incoming emails addressed [email protected] and anything @mydomain.org.uk to [email protected]

Now for outgoing email I could use the standard [email protected] as the From E-mail Address and the Reply E-Mail address (as per setting up in Outlook 2003) ie a bog-standard set up.

However, with Nildram there is no problem with me using [email protected] (or the .org.uk one) as my E-mail Address and Reply E-mail address in Outlook 2003 and this then is used as the header on my out-going emails. Obviously for the fields for UserName and Password are [email protected] and password

Would I have any problems using the same procedure with Andrews & Arnold? ie I am sending via their SMTP server but using my own registered (with BT not with Nildram/A&A) domain details. I realise that Andrews & Arnold would let me transfer in my domain names, but for the moment am just looking for the answer(s) to this question.

(I understand that some ISP's do not allow such use of their SMTP server)

Thanks

Clive


ps - for receiving email, I just read my [email protected] POP3 mailbox as normal. Outlook 2003 allows me to set up which accounts are for read only, send only and also give a drop down choice of sending account.

Hi,

No problem in you sending email through our outgoing servers with a from domain that we don't manage.

Nice to see someone from A&A replying, sort of like, icing on the cake .

At least you didn't end that with "That's okay, we know where you live anyway"
