It is true that this is the main reason why I get so angry with
this. Having to find the right acceptable SMTP relayer wherever

directly to the recipient local MTA is a pain with Eudora,
because Eudora is not able to this automatically. I do not
know if other mail clients can do this. Earlier this week,
I was in Bologna and sent my messages in this way, changing
the receiving SMTP server manually between each message to
the server indicated by the MX record of the recipient. It
worked, but was not easy.

I guess what I should get is some simple MTA which I can
run on my personal computer and which does this for me.
It need not handle incoming mail, only outgoing mail.

actually there is a far simpler solution that I will continue to use until I get SMTP AUTH on my infrastructure:

use SSH to login to a machine at home, and to tunnel port 25 to there.
Configure Eudora to send to "localhost:25".

End of problem.
