That was DDoS extortion, wasn't it? Probably cheaper and much faster than buying mitigation, I'd suspect they've improved in that aspect by now.
> Also, AIUI, the fact that their accounts are free makes the service attractive for spammers, so email sent via their mail servers tend to get marked as spam.
Not by any normal service provider.
- moogly 5y agoYeah, it was DDoS. Attacks continued after they paid up, to no one's surprise. When researching what email provider to choose a few years ago, I found a lot of tales about it being a haven for spammers and with the baggage all that entails, but maybe that was pure FUD? Difficult to tell in my position.

There's simply so much more lower-hanging fruit for spamming. Why deal with the mess that is signing up and all that jazz? I'd say it's definitely a risk, like with all other providers, but not more so than with others.
