Dominik George dixit: >I somehow consider Google not fit for anything a mail server should
They are not fit to do eMail, period. When they try to send eMail to my own MX, they retry (after getting a temporary error from greylisting) from a _different_ sender IP, thus (obviously) not getting through. They don’t publish lists of their own sending MTAs so that people so inclined could whitelist them; I won’t even want to whitelist them because I get spam from apparently-legit googlemail users but their abuse@ only sends canned responses (I really hope the EU will crunch them for that) directing people to a webform I cannot use with Lynx, and even with a GUI webbrowser asks me to insert information I do not have, instead of just getting the needed info from their own signed mail header lines. At work, we’re being switched to use googlemail now too ☹ and it’s got tons of problems, such as rewriting headers on outgoing messages, their IMAP server dropping the connection a few times a day, not showing messages I send to mailing lists when I receive them myself, and being slow in general. Their calendars send mails to other attendees even when I tell it (by means of saying “Don’t send” in KDEPIM) not to, when I delete a (e.g. past) appointment. And don’t let me get started on the format of their web-based invitation mails… And that’s just the start of a rant; basically, anything I can recall offhand without even having to *start* thinking about it. So yes, in short, I believe Google should be banned from operating anything related to eMail. bye, //mirabilos -- 13:37⎜«Natureshadow» Deep inside, I hate mirabilos. I mean, he's a good guy. But he's always right! In every fsckin' situation, he's right. Even with his deeply perverted taste in software and borked ambition towards broken OSes - in the end, he's damn right about it :(!
