Well, while I agree it is difficult setup an email service, but not prohibitively so. If you setup your DNS properly create SPF an DKIM almost all providers will accept your email IF (and that's a very big if) you do not spam. And just the fact that you think you got an email address legally (and maybe with some consent) does that mean You can enter that address anywhere else or send unlimited amount of junk. But if you are reasonable non of these providers are difficult to deal with (office365 being the exception, they are f**king insane) -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
