  1. Theres going to be some issues with what you want to do. Because of spam and phishing, most email services use whitelisting approaches to filter emails. If your smtp ip is not on that list, no matter the originating "return address" it will be blocked.

    Why? There are loads of software packages out there that can allow you to set up your own little smtp server on say, your travel laptop. With an smtp server, you can literally declare any originating email address you'd want. With an smtp server, I could make all my emails look like they came from [email protected]. When filtering, if the smtp originating IP address isn't on their whitelist, it'll get trashed.

    Google is an example of a widely accepted originating source. Many dedicated servers will have excellent success in sending out email--shared hosting doesn't do so great.

  2. Seagate DiscWizard is their free branding of Acronis True Image. Not sure how it checks for a Seagate drive.

    EULA:

    Licensor grants to Licensee a worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty free license to use the DiscWizard software (the “Softwareâ€Â) with Seagate and Maxtor branded disc drives only.

    I've also read some good reviews on the free tool DriveImage XML
