Default how's the "mail gateway" thing working?

could HG users or staff post their evaluation of how well the "mail gateway" system with rotating IP addresses is dealing with blacklisting of shared-server IPs at AOL and Yahoo?

Recent threads on the forum suggest there has not actually been much improvement ... am I reading that correctly?

this is a big problem at my current hosting company, and in evaluating whether to move to HG I need to know if this strategy is working for you.

Default Re: how's the "mail gateway" thing working?

I'm currently running into this issue with delivery of messages to Yahoo email accounts. If delivery of an email 8 hours after the time it was sent could be considered "working" then yes. I currently have a support ticket open on this issue and I was instructed to contact Yahoo myself. Quoted from support:

"I've been somewhat patiently waiting on Yahoo to fix this issue however, they've yet to do so and seen rather reluctant to offer support. What I suggest is that you fill out the form at the link they sent and see if you can get somewhere as I'm unable to."

Not exactly the response I was looking for. I'm still awaiting an acceptable resolution to this problem.

It's not just yahoo ... apparently any mail to an army.mil account is FUBAR as well.

Just one of the wonderful 'perks' of shared hosting.
