Long ago, I tried mailing directly direct-to-mx style, but that of

So only 5% of my mail got through.
So then I tried mailing through The ISP Here, Hinet.Net's SMTP server,
but of course Hinet.Net has a bad name. So only 50% of my mail got through.
So, upon people like you guy's recommendation, I (asked my mom to buy)
me a dreamhost.com account.
You could have set up a free gmail account and then configured your MTA
to use GMail's SMTP submission service as a smarthost.
However I can't shake off the Original Sin of Being in Taiwan. All
people with Taiwan Colored Skin will have points deducted, no matter
what. We use the Telephone Company's ISP.
I don't use this term lightly but you're an idiot if you think any of
this has to do with skin colour or race. The only thing you'll achieve
by making such claims is mass ridicule.

Now you guys are saying I should go back to using Hinet.Net's SMTP, even
though my mom has already paid a 5 year contract for me at Dreamhost.
Five years? That wasn't very clever. Why not just configure the MTA on
your Dreamhost server to remove the offending IP/hostname data from mail
before relaying it? I don't know what MTA you're using but if it's
"Exim" and you ask on the Exim users mailing list, I'll help you there.
