OOL Email Sucks!

My ISP, Optimum Online, has really lousy email service. I frequently have emails delayed by 10 hours or more. I've also had emails sit on the server for 2 days then bounce back even though the destination address was valid; (see »Re: Fix the friggin' SMTP servers already!!! ) And I know that I've had emails disappear completely.

Also, OOL is on so many blacklists, there's a good chance your email will never be delivered. And, finally, there are lots of authentication errors trying to connect to their POP server.

In short, OOL Email Sucks!

Erm, I dunno what you're talking about, but here where I live, my server has been up about 90-95%
