Lost outgoing emails

[MactheKnife]

Anybody else experience this?

Been using my MTN data connection a bit the past month.
Have found on a number of occasions when sending email that either the email is incredibly delayed (up to 24 hrs) in getting to the recipient, or in fact never gets there.
Also found that when an email is sent to multiple recipients, some get and some don't (even where the do's and don'ts are on the same ISP).

Using the standard mtn smtp server.

Obviously this is not helpful from a business perspective, especially as on a few occasions the email was quite urgent.
Also only discovered today that an email sent on Friday was never received which was also business embarrassing.

Any ideas?

I'm experiencing problems getting mail to one or two overseas users, whether I use the standard mtn smtp, or the mtnloaded one, both of which are apparently blacklisted by some overseas recipients as spammers.

Irritating, but I suspect it would be rare for any ISP of MTN's size not to find itself being used by one or more of its subscribers for spamming, which then tars all of us with the same brush. Or have I got how it works wrong?

MTN installed PinPoint on their outgoing servers - ever since then, PROBLEMS!

A call to their data people was never returned. The guy said someone would call me back but they never actually did. I have no idea how many emails were just deleted on MTN's side and I know they will not refund me that data. Pinpoint does NOT work properly and often blocks legit mail, especially if the attachments break its rules.

Aha, could this be why an American recipient cannot now get my e-mails, even though I have been using MTN (and thus the same outgoing servers) for months now?

I've seen this aswell. MTN servers are on a few SBL lists as spam originators

Which SMTP server are you guys using?
