Censorship? Nonsense.
Running and maintaining a mailserver is a difficult job. Incorrect
configured mailservers can cause a lot of problems to others. So
everyone should be forced to use a providers machine as smarthost.
If your provider filters mail, adds advertisings etc... blame the
provider. Choose another. We don't talk about modifying content.
Examples:
My provider allows "just" some thousand mails to be sent (sent! Not
received!). This is a lot more I can write, but whenever I cause a
mailloop it will not be endless.
Whenever I misconfigure my MUA and send mail with an invalid Reply-To
("ratti@local") my provider will not deliver the mail.
If I misconfigure my machine as an open relay and someone sends lots of
spammails from my machine, a lot of providers will not accept that mail.
And if I configured it to use my providers smarthost after some thousand
mails my providers stops it, see example 1.
Local mailservers are childish, dangerous and nonsense.
Bye, Ratti
