WifiSmtp 1.1.1 review

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.

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).

What's New:
Changed URL of database update file
Updated the local database (inside the application package)
Made the e-mail reports (uknown or incorrect ISP) a little clearer and added some debugging information
Known bugs:
An error -1762 (that you can safely ignore) can randomly appear
ISP identification in South America and Africa barely works, or not at all. Informations that can be obtained from an IP address is not delivered in the same format as for other continents. A future version of WifiSMTP will support that format.
Note: if you have submitted information on an ISP and WifiSmtp still reports it as "unknown" it simply means that I haven't had time to update the database. Same thing if your name is not yet in the ReadMe. Check for updates regularly using the update button in WifiSmtp.
