I totally agree, Open DNS is really best choice. I have used it for over a year and never ever had a single problem.

Does anybody know of a free SMTP service? I dont like webmail, i always use Thunderbird as mail client, and most ISP block port 25 for outgoing mail.

Thanks for your comments - I also found my PC speeded up, probably because all OpenDNS' servers do is handle DNS queries. The Confiker virus is also blocked by them - a huge vulerability - see these links for more details:

I too would like to find out about a free SMTP service if such a thing exists.......
