Then the people that say to quit bitching would be bitching.
Gmail is not free -- it is advertiser supported. It is also supported by those that choose to opt for corporate accounts.
I have all of my mail through their corporate account services and am down. Shit happens.Comment
-
I'm glad I don't. I've never trusted them. Fuck the system is designed to search your mail for keywords. If they can do it for advertising they can do it for anything.Comment

You do not know shit for what you are talking about, you can pay for as good email service and be safe knowing your email is safe and backed up. Gmails servers could fry and all your free accounts could be lost and then you are the one who is dumb. You are dumb and do not understand how the internet works, go home to your moms basement.E-mail marketing - Automation Scripting - IP Space

i use gmail for a lot of things, just cause its "Free" doesn't mean nada.Comment

I use gmail for the general public and my own mailservers for professional/business.
I don't see why you'd call people using Gmail or "free" mail services dumb; is business hurting and you hope to sell a few more dedicated servers this month ?Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmailComment

Actually no, i would not want a single one of you people who relay on gmail for your mail services. I have no interest at all selling corp accounts to idiots who think "free" should be used for biz accounts.
You may be smart enough to do your corp stuff elsewhere but most people do there biz with a free gmail account, that is stupid.E-mail marketing - Automation Scripting - IP Space

The reality of it is, most people have a hard time getting their mail through if they use their own mailserver. How many people do you think actually take care to go through all the configuration (bounce management, rDNS, DKIM, Sender-ID, etc...) to ensure delivery? Not to mention, that even if they do all that you still have high risks of being "junked" if you have no prior sender reputation.
Gmail is a good solution for those people, as despite the fact spammers still use it to blast out mail, it generally hits the inbox 9 times out of 10.

Tell me Mr. Hosting Provider, what does your servers do that Google's cant that make hosting email with you guys way better then them? Can you honestly say your servers are up more than one of the biggest companies in the world?
Wait is your argument that they have bots that check keywords in your email to show you relevant ads, which you think is invasion of privacy? What makes you think that because someone pays you $xxx/mo for a server to host their email on, you can't just jump in and read our emails yourself?
Google is HUGE, and is subject to more people wearing their tinfoil hats, more than you. Do you really think they are just out there to get as much info about you as possible, to just hand over to the government so they can bust you for something?
If you're so worried, why don't you stop doing shit that would make the government watch you?
I trust Google to host my email over you, mojohost, and hell, even over the exact people who host my business websites, you know, the stuff that actually makes the money for me, AmeriNOC.
It amazes me how many of you people ride those 9/11 attack is fake people for wearing tinfoil hats, yet you guys also wear one of the biggest tinfoil hats ever seen in regards to Google.Comment
-
And they let you touch servers for a living?
Almost every email service around (that has users) has followed Google lead with functions and space available etc.
You are not the best in your marketplace, funny you think your customers are 'fucking idiots' for using a service better then you can provide. All we can hope is some are reading this.LinkSpun - Premier Adult Link Trading Community - ICQ - 464/\281/\250

is there a tutorial anywhere of all the server configurations to set up for a linux box to improve your email?

Well you have never hosted with us so talk all the shit you want, fact is and Ill say it right out. We own our own facility, we own our own routers, we own our own space, we own our own ips, we own several hosting companys around they world that you people will never know about, so when we get 1 or 2 people complaining out of 10s of thousands and thousands of customers our ratio for complaints is actually quite good. There is also people like you who have never used our service yet talk shit, which is cool, if you like being a poser.
I never brought up the fact that gmail goes through emails for keywords and so forth and I do not care that is not one of my points. My point is for a free email service yes it is great for personal email but not for corp email. The gmail servers are much more strict when it comes to relay and emails waiting in the queue. There is a lot of shit I am not going to waste my time explaining because you already have your mind set on my opinion being shit, but I have used gmail vs my own personal setup and there is a lot of reasons why I will never use gmail for my work related stuff, and I am sure any one else who knows anything about servers will tell you the same thing.Last edited by split_joel; 09-01-2009, 01:37 PM.E-mail marketing - Automation Scripting - IP Space

You make a very very good point there and for personal email I agree with you 100% however to me for someone who does not know these things it would be better to pay 10-100 dollars a month to get an enterprise solution.The reality of it is, most people have a hard time getting their mail through if they use their own mailserver.

I think I'm being the most naïve person out here....
I use gmail for 2 email accounts, 1 professional and one personal.
Both are free, unpaid, grattis whatever you want to call it, yet I use both on POP3S/SMTPS for free without ads etc etc and when it goes down, my mail client tells me by greying out the mailbox and when it comes back online I get my mail.
No ads, no moaning, encrypted and so what is the frikken problem?
Just configure your mail cliet to use google for you gmail accounts, and use SSL if your email client is smart enough to support it. No more ads, no more bullshit, blah. Out.

Not that I know of, I think the information is pretty scattered across many articles, blogs, etc...
Here's a quick list off the top of my head through which may help you:
- Make sure you're not an Open Relay
- Make sure you have a valid reverse DNS
- Make sure you have valid SPF records setup (you should setup both TXT and SPF type records even if most places don't use the SPF type just yet)
- Configure Microsoft Sender-ID (goes along with SPF records)
- Configure DomainKeys and DKIM (I always use both as DKIM hasn't taken over 100% yet)
- Verify your IP address is not on any lists or in a bad IP neighborhood and if possible, has no previous bad reputation
- Install some form of bounce management, whether it be custom or a third-party software
After doing all of that, you should be in pretty good shape. The next most important thing, if sending any decent amount of mail is keep your sending pattern/volume consistent. Once you build up a good reputation as a sender, then apply for the various whitelists/bulk sender approval with the major ISPs.
Hope that helps

Enlighten me Mr. Know-it-all. For your information, I have only used Gmail to host my email in the last year, but the previous 5 years, I've used my own servers.
You sure have a chip on your shoulder. I'd also like to know what hosts you own that I could never figure out, just to make sure I never host with someone who would blatantly call his customers idiots.Comment
-
Never called our customers idiot's our customers pay for a real enterprise solution. I could care less if you host with us or not, the fact that you do not want to make your life easier, and you think just because I have used both gmail and my solution and like my solution better I do not know what I am talking about. How many fortune 500 companies do you think use gmail for there corp email? Well I can honestly say out of the 15 that we host, they do not.

Yeah, how about your customers (well, 1 in particular) that were complaining about download speeds incessantly only to find out thanks to another hosting company's in-depth investigation that they were throttled with Suavement...
I was with you for many many years and pushed a few kbs to host my dev server. At the beginning I signed up for (and had) a gbs port with no cap. Then over time, somehow I got capped. I moaned, you said it's my connection all is good etc etc bullshit bullshit.
Another host found out, I moved end of story.
And yes, per your last IM, you were talking to yourself, and before you carry your insinuations any further outside of IM, here is my email telling you to kill my servers (as if you could try and backtrace years of non-payment):
Dated January 14, 2008 11:10:03 AM CESTDear Splitinfinity/Suavemente Internet,
I would like to cancel my server (delta) with you at the end of this current billing cycle (Jan 31st). To consolidate expenses, I no longer require a dedicated server solution and will host my current sites with my employer. The current billing cycle was paid at the beginning of this month (27/12/2007) and runs through to 31st Jan. Please do not bill my VISA card for February.

Also for all the haters that can me an idiot, I could care less. Fact is, I am 22 years old, make more money then most of your parents and most of you ever will in your life time. I am married, live on my own, and work my ass off, so talk shit it means nothing. Fact is, get a real corp biz in here and have them post they use it for there corp email. I am still waiting, then I will be wrong when the maj of big corps use gmail for there mailing solution.
