Almost right - The Vsoupwin program will pass credentials in an SMTP AUTH 
session however it does not support SSL.

Routing a message via SMTP does not require any authentication at all - 
Internet SMTP servers are designed to operate on port 25. But the Vsoupwin 
program is designed to route as if it were an email -client-. Vsoupwin does 
not directly route email to a recipient. Pretend that Vsoupwin is like Outlook
Express for example.

So... you will need either an SMTP relay service that does not require SSL, or
you run your own relay with something such as Hmailserver. You would also
need the ability to route messages on port 25, so, it helps if you have both
a static IP and unrestricted port access through your ISP.

You will find everything is a LOT easier to do if you can run your own relay 
and do everything yourself.
