asked on

smtp - is this bad for deliverability?

i just had an email service provider tell me that smtp is bad for deliverability? then why many of the email service providers offer this feature. i think they are just trying to use fear to sell thier product.

but i want to make sure because im planning on using smtp for things like mailjet, mailgun, etc

i guess i would have to ask what they propose instead
SMTP Imap and POP3 are the most popular mail protocols
....that being said YES there are smtp vulnerabilities
and yes port 25 and port 80 deliver approx 80% of known malware
but a good application firewall can offer decent security
alll 3 of these protocols have known limitations but again what are they suggesting as
viable alternatives - the world continues to use these protocols

SMTP is only email delivery protocol.
