Dear List
We sometimes get requests from business customers, with own mailserver, which directly receives email via smtp, for an outgoing smtp-relay.
I then argue with:
* Their server is absolutely capable of sending emails directly * They have better control of the sending process. * They can look for problem them self in their logs. * Anti-Spam thresholds aimed at end users, not companies. * They are not affected if another customer is spaming and therefore the IP of the relay blacklisted.
But still, I then often get an "BUT... you are our ISP, isn't it your duty to offer such a relay service? Other ISP do this!"
rly? Do other ISP still offer smtp relaying services to business customers with own email infrastructure?
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
