In June/July of last year I had to change my personal e-mail provider and, after some research/experimentation, decided to go with GMX. In general, I've been very satisfied and it's been working well. But I've run into a few things recently that have me a bit concerned.
First, I've had a handful of people tell me that they never got my messages. I didn't give it much though because that kind of stuff happens and is usually when someone doesn't understand their spam settings and doesn't look in their spam folder.
Second, I've had a handful of messages bounce with vague SMTP messages like "Denied" when the recipient has a known good/active e-mail address.
Third, I've encountered a case where when trying to register for a forum account on a site, it simply wouldn't let me register with a gmx.com address.
Does anyone know if GMX is overused/abused by hackers and such to get free e-mail addresses that it might be blacklisted to the extent that I may need/want to consider moving to another provider?
BTW... let's not turn this into a "why not just use Gmail" thread. That's already been beat to death.
