My impression is that they don't care. You can use their automated tools and that's good enough for them. Smaller players don't have the numbers to upset enough of their customers if the smaller players' email doesn't get through. In fact, it's a problem that I think will get worse for smaller senders. Sooner or later, I think the big mail service providers will largely replace SMTP with something they agree amongst themselves that suits the very large volumes that they exchange amongst themselves. I reckon they won't completely block SMTP for talking from/to smaller players but it will be a service they gradually deprecate more and more (and negatively score more and more). A two tier Internet, as far as email is concerned. We're there already, in effect, even without an entirely new protocol. -- Mark Rousell
