The same argument can be made for outsourcing anything. Having a provider use my hosted website to deliver viruses would also damage my reputation. Running the servers myself (web or email) and sending out spam would be just as damaging to my reputation. The question is who can provide the service more effectively? Could third party email providers be of such low quality, that they should rejected across the board? I've seen no evidence for this. I've used various large providers over the years without issues. Having supported email over the years, dealing with incoming spam, I've seen no reason from that end either. Though I could just be lucky. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
