I don't have a server. Company A hosting my domains receives the mail and forwards it to my ISP (company B) and I pick it up from there with POP3.
Weird construction. (^-^) Why not poll the Server of Company A directly? The trouble with forwarding is, that different methods of determining spam might lead to blocking, if Company B considers the server of Company A as a source of spam.
Originally, company A didn't offer POP3/IMAP access on their forwarding accounts. They do now but I'm looking to move away following other changes in their business policy (i.e. extra charges appearing without warning). As regards spam, I tell both A and B not to filter my mail at all. I pay them money to deliver it!
It's definitely a better choice than to start your own server without knowing much about SMTP and IMAP.
There are far too many things where I already know more than I want to. I'd like to treat mail as a black box and concentrate on things I find more interesting.
One caveat is that I simply don't trust Google to handle my data.
I trust Google more than some but I'd prefer to deal with a company whose people & servers are in the UK or EU. Just call it an irrational prejudice :) Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
