What is a real provider? And what in the email specifications tells us
that the email needs and solutions of any one individual, as long as they
are following protocol (which I'm quite convinced Mark is) are "unreal"?
There are scalability issues that single out the mega-class providers
as something special. But those are no reason to go around debating the
realness of other email handling organisations.
Also, the accept/reject policies of email recipients are subject to
individual evaluation and implementation at each MX host. Attempts at
describing the state of email as other than that are false and should
be discarded[0].
