I don’t know if it’s because I’m from Europe or something else but I’ve been hosting my emails for over 10 years and never really had issues like those discribed in the article.
The only issues I had was when I had to send a lot of emails in a shirt time (invites for a wedding, and it was on a newly created dedicated domain, don’t know if that made it worse).
Also when I was hosting at home, but since I moved to a dedicated server everything has been fine.
That being said I agree that we are being victims of a disgusting racket and that something should be done to make sure everyone is doing their job so that we leave a fair chance to competition.
There are rules to regulate other things, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be the case for email and interoperability in general.
Very interesting article and analysis, it’s a shame we reached this state though…
Most of my contacts have a gmail account.and I don’t have any issue.
I used to go through my DNS provider’s SMTP back when I was hosting at home specially for Microsoft but not anymore.

nice, i have heard basically the same thing from friends.
but have also read fairly consistent reports of similar issues as described in the article.
out of interest are you able to confirm successful delivery to the usual suspects, eg. gmail or google/microsoft hosted mail etc?
