How Updating My Outgoing SMTP Server Saved My Marriage

Who knew that fiddling with something like an outgoing SMTP server in a hotel bar in Memphis could save my marriage? Even though my wife and I just had our first child in January, in March I started a new job that requires a lot of travel. It isn't an ideal situation, but you know how tough times are right now.

Anyway, I promised my wife I would email her every night I was on the road (we can't afford to run up the cellphone bills). And I tried. I really did. But no matter what I did, my email program wouldn't send messages for me from the various hotels and motels where I was spending my nights. I could receive email fine, but not send it. At first my wife was understanding, but after a while, she started to think I was intentionally ignoring her, or having an affair, or who knows what. It was a real problem.

Fortunately, on this last trip I met this guy Pete who told me about the problems he had with his outgoing SMTP server and how he fixed them. He said he subscribed to this plan that let him use an SMTP server that always works, no matter where you are. It totally fixed his problem and only cost him a couple of bucks a month.

I literally ran to my room, grabbed my laptop, and carried it back down to the hotel bar so he could show me what he was talking about. 15 minutes later, I had my own subscription and was able to send a message to my wife! It is amazing how some messing with some weird thing you never heard of, like outgoing SMTP server settings can make such a difference in your life.
