Is there a problem with the On-Rev email server

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

Hm, i cannot confirm this.

For about 2 years now we are using the on-rev server as primary MX for our business communication (order confirmations, billing and so on) without any big problem. Before that we used the  on-rev system as backup MX, also w/o any significant problems.
We have enabled SPF and DKIM for our account in cPanel under email->authentication.

I am not sure that just using an other ISP´s smtp system would avoid such a problem.

It´s a general problem of all shared mail servers.
Even if YOU are using that system for normal email communication, it is not granted that this problem will not happen.
Why? Because as soon as one of the other users of that mail system uses the system  to send spams or even just bulk email
to some of the big providers like gmail, aol or others, it could happen / it will happen that the smtp server gets a bad reputation.
