One of my businesses relies on sending out loads of email (in the region of about 4k a day and growing) and I've decided to move the operation home as a cost saving exercise as well as easier monitoring. I have iBurst at home (roughly 80-90% signal - relatively stable). Now, as iburst forces subscribers through their smtp servers, will there be a problem with me sending this volume of email?
 
I'm still a new IBurst user but I use my own mail servers with no problem.

Apparently, they have scrapped that rule of only using their mail servers recently, so you can use your own SMTP server, and therefore send as many emails you like.

I have several. But the stuff I send out is reports and there'a quite a sophisticated engine behind it. It's costing me an arm and a leg to keep the servers hosted, and dsl is not an option where I stay.
 
I've just tested using my own smtp servers and traffic on port 25 is immediately dropped.
