Our mail systems (we are under "top 10.000" to "100.000" i assume) have a top (and sometimes better) "reputation" and there is NO mail from our customers (except for real (!) abusive mail, if not blocked by us before) which is NOT reaching any working mail ISP on this globe and vice versa and our customers have a very good anti spam satisfaction as requested from us typically. The did not want to waste lifetime for handling spam or requesting recievers for "is my mail arrived yet" or similiar stuff - but do pay for such a service. And there still ARE many others out who work at the same quality level, even on other customer fields, but there still ARE peoples offering mail service without knowing what they doing - independent from their cheap or expensive pricings. And there are some even "no-cost" providers out able to do that too (usually financing by service extensions or ads) - but usually larger then. The ONLY requirement is a mail provider who does his job at an professional level . means: he has an admin who knows what he is doing and has the time to do that regularly. I remember many MS Exchange installations acting as MX / SMTP / MTA for a hand full of users - just setting up an Mailserver is easy, but running a reliable mail service is more then setup and let it run... Email - as a major application "part" of the "internet" - is a complex ecosystem today and it takes ressources as such - like i.e. in full table BGP where it is usually a bad idea to run a full table BGP router with typical higher availability requirements byself without an competent person available 24/7/365 for it (but there are manies doing this until today too and wonder if it results in bad customer satisfaction...). But the time where "i set up a public internet mail server today" from zero is over - and i'm not very frustrated about this, because WE as the mail providers had to fiddle with the crap and misconfigs of others plus their resulting abusive traffic. just my two cents, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc ---
