Re: What is the Beijing Telecom smtp host?

Also the domain free.fr for example doesn't accept, even with right 
authentication,
to relay any mail coming from China.
So the solution if I want to use my email in free.fr is to use my own 
smtp server.
Also if your domain is hosted at online.net they don't provide any smtp 
service
and they ask to use the smtp service of the isp. Often an isp relays 
mail only
for its own domain even if the authentication is right.
According to this shit, the convenient solution is to run my own smtp 
server on
my laptop. But recently Outblaze (which is used by netvigator) has 
decided to
black some full subnetworks of Dynamic IPs to prevent them to be SMTP 
server.
That is a very blind policy. Of course peoples will continue to receive 
spam, and
they will not be able anymore to receive some mails which are not spams 
at all.

All of this looks like a balloon with 11 holes and we have only 10 fingers.
The problem in my opinion is because of the protocol itself. Something
new must be created and this will give to emails the same status as FAX.
Then emails will be able to be considered as juridically available and spam
will just be a bad souvenir.

Anyway right now, the use of my own smtp server behind dynamic IP let me
be able to send sucessfully 99% of my emails, and when this doesn't work
I use gmail.
