They provide email services for many different outfits on the net, most
notably the free ISPs like Netzero,1nol and the like. SOrt of like the
national POP dialin provider outfits, except they do email.
However, CP's mail servers are known for being a tad flakey, and are
often not quite configured right. 123india is a good example, they offer
an IMAP server, but it doesn't authenticate. On the lists I run, I get a
higher percentage of bounces off a CP powered server than any other.
That, and they have a bad rep in the anti-spam community because of
"whack-a-mole" spammers and CP's weak AUP and laxity in dealing with
spammers (it typically takes many hundreds of complaints over the period
of weeks to get CP to terminate a spammer, and they've been nominated to
the MAPS RBL more than once).
If you follow the Spamcop newsgroup at
news://news2.spamcop.net/local.spamcop, you'll see threads about CP
often enough...
