Thanks for your suggestions. I looked at Mailchimp but I was a bit 
daunted about how I could make it work with the existing application. I 
was looking for an alternative smtp mail server and fortunately found 
Mandrill which is a part of Mailchimp. After a quick registration, I had 
the server details and could start sending some test  emails. It looks 
like it is OK for the client as well.
Amazingly they give you 12000 a month for free which is more than enough.
Thanks again
Roger
