What Route Does My Email Travel?

Email authentication procedures are designed to provide email senders a way to take responsibility for the email they send.  These procedures give the email recipients (receiving ISPs) ways to authenticate any senders email, such as email coming from an  Email Service Provider, as it provides a clear sender identity.  When such procedures are in place an email may take the following route before it is read.

“I tried a couple of other hosting services and always had difficulty getting live help. I rarely need to speak to them but when I do, there’s always a live person to speak to when I call. Dundee has helped me grow my business and my customers now receive updated info about my products on a predetermined schedule. And I customize my newsletters to mirror my website. I’m very happy and their prices fit right into my budget.”
