Product Description:

Don't you hate it when you are connected to a WiFi hotspot but you can't send e-mails because the ISP prevents you from using any other SMTP server than its own (and you usually don't know its address) ?

WifiSmtp tells you:
  • the name of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you are connected to
  • the address of that ISP's mail server (SMTP)
  • the connection speed (available bandwidth)
It can also:
  • copy the address of the SMTP server to the clipboard (so that you can paste it into you favorite e-mail software)
  • regularly check the connection status
IMPORTANT NOTE: The current version of WifiSmtp can only recognize ISPs in a few European countries as well as one in Canada. Please send us information about your own ISP so that WifiSmtp can be useful in every part of the world (refer to the end of the readme for details).

The goofy alert sounds notified me that this is a solution looking for a problem, and somebody built this with little thought other than to be cutesy.

There are so many OTHER ways of sending email from a hotspot. I agree with the poster who said, "don't give anyone a reason to lock you out of their wifi spot".

WifiSmtp CommentaryYes, it is useful to some - Version: 1.1.1, 8/7/2006 01:41AM PST

In reply to some earlier posts, this tool *IS* useful in some circumstances and to some people.

Not everyone is using an email account from an ISP (I know I don't) so obviously "just use your ISP mail server" is not the answer for them.

Using the OSX built-in mail server, activated through PostFix Enabler, might work (I know I use it wherever I can) but some gateways block SMTP traffic from any other machine than their own, trusted, internal mail server. So not your laptop then.

So getting the info about that trusted mail server can come in handy. And no, not every SMTP server require an account (actually most don't).

Hope this helps clarify...
