To get back to the original topic: In my opinion many of the claims made in this blog post are factually wrong. Instead of countering each of them I rather point to the ecosystem around us: We communicate with tens of thousands of different MTAs and most of them are not run by members if the mentioned oligopoly. If it was impossible to run your own email server, those MTAs wouldn‘t exist. But they do exist. What is true is that a lot of knowledge is necessary to run a MTA, as well as the total amount of MTAs is decreasing. But this has more to do with the general trend towards outsourcing and moving services to SaaS providers, than with an alleged discrimination by an oligopoly. — BR Oliver ________________________________ dmTECH GmbH Am dm-Platz 1, 76227 Karlsruhe * Postfach 10 02 34, 76232 Karlsruhe Telefon 0721 5592-2500 Telefax 0721 5592-2777 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> * www.dmTECH.de<http://www.dmtech.de> GmbH: Sitz Karlsruhe, Registergericht Mannheim, HRB 104927 Geschäftsführer: Christoph Werner, Martin Dallmeier, Roman Melcher ________________________________ Datenschutzrechtliche Informationen Wenn Sie mit uns in Kontakt treten, beispielsweise wenn Sie an unser ServiceCenter Fragen haben, bei uns einkaufen oder unser dialogicum in Karlsruhe besuchen, mit uns in einer geschäftlichen Verbindung stehen oder sich bei uns bewerben, verarbeiten wir personenbezogene Daten.
