Could you provide an example of such a smarthost email provider that has the benefits you mentioned?
Not challenging you, just genuinely curious.
- johnklos 4y agoSure! I would never recommend, for instance, Dreamhost, but I set up a company's smarthosting with Dreamhost because the company was already using them. Dreamhost in general, though, is quite spammy. Linode and Panix come to mind. Really, though, many hosting companies won't necessarily list "smart hosting" / "smarthosting" as a service. If they offer a cheap VPS and offer outgoing SMTP, you can set up smarthosting through a VPS. One can even smarthost through Outlook / Gmail, if you really want.
- pseudalopex 4y agoDeliverability problems sending from VPS providers like Linode are common. The article mentioned using a VPS.
- johnklos 4y agoSending via a VPS is not the same as sending through the VPS provider's email servers. Providers usually have their own outgoing SMTP servers for their clients with people who make sure that deliverability is always working, so sending through those is much more likely to work than sending directly from a VPS.
- pseudalopex 4y agoYou said through a VPS. Not the VPS provider's email servers. And you suggested Linode. It looks like you can't send through their servers.
