[DUG] Problems with TIdsmtp

[Alister Christie]

It's mostly for sending newsletters and stuff, besides most of our users 
are emailing less than a few hundred clients at a time, most of which 
will have been talked to personally or have requested to be on the 
database - which hardly counts as spam.
