should I allow pop before smtp ?
- it will eat up more resources. I tell customers to use their isp's outgoing mail server so that they won't overwhelm my machine and network.
- it will cause me work harder when someone send spam, virus etc.
Unfortunately, few clients resell my hosting package to someone else and they don't wan't to explain their customers how to setup isp's smtp, they claim "customers change isp so often and I don't want to explain them when they can't send mail". To be optimistic, most newbies don't know how to setup smtp , will become more experience for 1-2 years , and know how to use isp's outgoing mail.
