This is NOT true! |

Our mail systems (we are under "top 10.000" to "100.000" i assume) have a top |
| 8 |
(and sometimes better) "reputation" and there is NO mail from our customers |
| 9 |
(except for real (!) abusive mail, if not blocked by us before) which is NOT |
| 10 |
reaching any working mail ISP on this globe and vice versa and our customers |
| 11 |
have a very good anti spam satisfaction as requested from us typically. The |
| 12 |
did not want to waste lifetime for handling spam or requesting recievers for |
| 13 |
"is my mail arrived yet" or similiar stuff - but do pay for such a service. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
And there still ARE many others out who work at the same quality level, even |
| 16 |
on other customer fields, but there still ARE peoples offering mail service |
| 17 |
without knowing what they doing - independent from their cheap or expensive |
| 18 |
pricings. And there are some even "no-cost" providers out able to do that too |
| 19 |
(usually financing by service extensions or ads) - but usually larger then. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The ONLY requirement is a mail provider who does his job at an professional |
| 22 |
level . means: he has an admin who knows what he is doing and has the time to |
| 23 |
do that regularly. I remember many MS Exchange installations acting as MX / |
| 24 |
SMTP / MTA for a hand full of users - just setting up an Mailserver is easy, |
| 25 |
but running a reliable mail service is more then setup and let it run... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Email - as a major application "part" of the "internet" - is a complex |
| 28 |
ecosystem today and it takes ressources as such - like i.e. in full table BGP |
| 29 |
where it is usually a bad idea to run a full table BGP router with typical |
| 30 |
higher availability requirements byself without an competent person available |
| 31 |
24/7/365 for it (but there are manies doing this until today too and wonder if |
| 32 |
it results in bad customer satisfaction...). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But the time where "i set up a public internet mail server today" from zero is |
| 35 |
over - and i'm not very frustrated about this, because WE as the mail |
| 36 |
providers had to fiddle with the crap and misconfigs of others plus their |
| 37 |
resulting abusive traffic. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
just my two cents, |
