Correct (unless your a hosting customer) we use dedicated customer
outbound boxes.
"We don't allow relay from outside our own netblocks."
Correct (unless as above)
Fine, that's been acceptable and normal many places for quite a long time...
Correct
but the changing face of email, and the growing number of people who want
access to their email from their own email client mean a growing demand for
There has been no requests or any demand for it here what so ever at all.
I'm curious what arguments you have against providing SMTP submission
services other than what appears to boil down to "Don't wanna! I'd have to,
y'know, do *work*!".
For starters, I need to see a justification it is worth it, ie at least
ONE or TWO customers asking for it in the first place, it is also a
common thing so everyone in this country is used to it this way, we all do
things the way it works for us best, I do it my way with number of
customers well into 6 figures, nobody has problems with it, the largest
ISP in this country with many millions of customers also seem to have no
problems with it this way, the second largest ISP, with only a few 100K
short of the largest, again has no problem running without it, as do any
others that I know of. And... well, it seems to work well using it for
some on this list, I'm not advocating nobody use it, I just think
its amazing at the couple of other people (use that term loosly) on this
list who attack me and see me aligned with satan for not using it.
thats their problem though, not mine.
(they dont know me to well, i've never changed a decision based on what
any wet dreamer on a list or usenet has said to me yet, and i aint about
to start either)
