Also, Yahoo atleast wants us to follow some policy, Rediff/Hotmail won't let us know what to do when sending mails... They just like to defer mails. For maximum 5k mails daily to each destination, I see 40-50k deferred attempts in the logs. Precious time and connections are lost in such attempts. Is it only me facing such issues, are there other people facing these??
