A small company will use a service like SendGrid, or even MailChimp at the higher level. Those services will do a lot of checking for you and investigating this kind of weirdness/attack is exactly why you pay them money! If they'r

I don't think this would work in practice. My employer sends daily deal emails without using a third-party service like SendGrid or SES and what we do is pay a company like Validity who interface with the big email providers for us. Th

It's a boarding school, so something a bit different than your standard high school. Imagine if the school rules were no smartphones... at all, except on the school holidays and maybe weekends. Slightly different context.
