Hi Paulo,

I'm not attacking you, Florian, and I am sorry if my rant sounded like
that . English is not my native language so sometimes I mess up.
no worries, I am not upset at all and I didn't have the impression you
attacked me - all is good, no bad feelings! :-)
It's just the absurdity of the situation. Just imagine if every email
provider started demanding their own "conditions" to accept mail from
everyone else, the chaos that would ensue ( hence my "goat sacrifice"
joke ) .
t-online isn't a 800lb gorilla (not even close ...) and this kind of
policies only hurt their customers. But it's not up to me to teach them
their job. Or their business. Or their behaviour/language/attitude
before us mere mortals that wish to relay their customers email messages.
My customers are warned of this and that's as far as I go. I can't be
ar***d to take care of someone else's business. I got my own headaches,
tyvm :-)
I totally feel your pain. Let's say that as a hobby mail server
operator, I've grown a very thick skin in dealing with ISPs. It's really
an unthankful job with a lot of pitfalls. I think what Telekom does
would not be needed and must feel really strange to non-Germans (where
this imprint nonsense is more promiment, sadly). The positive thing is,
at least they react quickly and helpful, in contrast to other providers
who don't give a damn and you have to find your way around.
But I agree, it's a bit unfortunate...
Florian
