Setting up an an email service is typically easy, but running an reliable 
email service is a much harder job. This is where many MTA admins or companies 
on the road of implementing their own MTA / internet email service fail over 
the time. Around 2-5 years ago there was an hype of having your own MTA / 
internet mailer system even as the smallest company - leading to many "crap" 
within the net, because of many different standard violations, bugs and 
security holes in the setups, made it very difficult to fight against abusive 
smtp usage. 

Anyhow: These times seems to be a bit over now... ß)

There are professional operating MTA / Relay and/or mail providers which offer 
email services on any level and for any expectations of user audiences - 
including very effective anti spam tech and active anti abuse management. 

Ii someeone is happy with some kind of "cost free" service at all, who usually 
has to save bucks on some points or generate revenue over other vectors (i.e. 
selling user profiles, sell ads, sell reputation of their users traffic 
etc.pp.), this is OK, but this is his decision. 

I know that there are companies relying on email and gelegated this to any 
lowest entry service - but users who really do expect a really (!) cost free 
high reliable / high volume, high quality email service are just out of 
reality. This is like on any service on the market.

(just my two cents)


best regards,


Niels.
