Re: [ossig] SMTP question
In response to all the other queries, which seem
to say 'it's up to your ISP and their policy',
a workaround might be to rent a low-end dedicated
server at some reputable hosting farm (Malaysia
or international) and send the mail to there.
In my personal capacity that's what I do : I
have a dedicated server hosted in UK from years ago,
and I recv/send all my incoming and outgoing email
from/to there. That also gives me the ability to
put server-side antivirus, antispam etc, and
save my local (dialup) bandwidth for other stuff.
(Unfortunately, my server is so old I can't upgrade
perl and I can't get server-side antispam to work,
but that's a different story).
Then when I hear stories about how (insert ISP name
here)'s SMTP gateway is down/slow/dropping emails,
I just shrug and move on.
It does mean that if Malaysia loses international
connectivity, I can't get local mails, though.
Just a thought. A dedicated server somewhere
with fast bandwidth is a boon for every geek/SME.
