In the past couple of days I revamped the EVEMon Emailer (you know, the feature where EVEMon is sending you an Email when skill level training completes) and I added the ability of prefixed Email provider settings.

Till now I have the following:

Gmail
Hotmail
Yahoo
Yahoo Plus

If anyone knows or wants me to add any other Email provider, please provide me with the following info:

Provider Name:
Server Address (SMTP):
Server Port:
Requires SSL (True of False):
Requires Authentication (True of False):

so to be included in the next release.

Thanks in advance.

Added. Thanks, Lutz.

Edit: Just for clarification. I searched about GMX and some post refer that the SMTP address is "mail.gmx.com". What's the diff?
Edit 2: Using Telnet, 'mail.gmx.net', 'mail.gmx.com' and 'mail.gmx.us' are all acceptable connections. I suppose that all point to the same Email server. Is it OK to use 'mail.gmx.com' as default ?

AFAIK the .net domain was the first in service. I didn't even know they added the .com or even .us, but both resolve to the same IP address. And all domains belong to GMX itself, so I think it's regardless.

Edit: Just tested it: I had no problem with using .net, .com or .us with the same account.

Also,
$ nslookup -type=CNAME mail.gmx.com.
mail.gmx.com canonical name = mailout-eu.gmx.com

$ nslookup -type=A mail.gmx.com.
Addresses: 213.165.64.42, 213.165.64.43, 213.165.64.44, 213.165.64.45

$ nslookup -type=A mail.gmx.net.
Addresses: 213.165.64.21, 213.165.64.20

These are not the same servers...
