Internet Email is sent through SMTP servers. Normally, your Internet Service Provider runs an SMTP server for you, but often you cannot use their server for a number of reasons, such as:

- You are often on the road and want to use your mail client for email communications whithout the hassle of finding a correct SMTP server to connect to.

- Your Internet Service Provider has severe restrictions on the number of emails you can send and you need to send more (for example, newsletters, announcements to the customers, clients, or club members).

- Your Internet Service Provider has unreliable service, mail servers are occasionaly down and it is hard to send email promtly.

- Your Internet Service Provider is listed on some anti-spam lists and this creates problems with deliverability (big ISP's are often listed on one or more anti-spam blacklists because of a huge number of different customers some of whom may happen to be spammers).

AY Gate can solve all these problem by bypassing your SMTP server and routing all your email through a script that you install on your Web site. AY Gate works with any mail client (Windows Mail, Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla etc) and can be used with other mailing software.
