Hello James,

This whole business with Google locking out email clients reminds me of the old chestnut about why dogs lick their privates.

Google and Microsoft are not the only email services around. Apparently, in the US, outsourcing email is far more prevalent than in Germany, where even mid sized companies use on premises Exchange servers. (I'm not advocating MS Exchange servers, just telling my perception.) A higher level of confidentiality seems to play a bigger role in Germany, maybe?

All in all, getting a static IP address, setting up a PTR in DNS for that address and rolling out a Linux based mail relay utilizing Postfix (which has its roots loosely tied in IBM!) isn't really hard to achieve, and is definitely more flexible than Gmail & Co.

:wq! PoC
