Find a clueful small provider, local to you if possible. On huge providers like Hetzner and DO, you are guaranteed to have spammers as neighbours some of the time, even if the provider rapidly shuts them down. On the other hand, a good-quality small provider may rarely if ever host spammers.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoCounterpoint, our mail admins spend a lot of time trying to convince small-scale providers to shutdown the spam email coming from them. Lots of people who host at small scale providers don’t care about patches, so they send tons of spam.
- hkt 4y agoI suppose that's why the person you're replying to specified clueful!
- jhugo 4y agoDoesn't seem like a counterpoint to me. The provider you're describing isn't clueful. A clueful provider pays attention to what's happening on their network and knows how to make themselves an unattractive host for spammers.
