Almost the same doggie works on UniSender

MTAs (mail transport agents) are doing this - writing their own email client and reinventing the UniSender bike, instead, the service uses the time-tested and popular Exim, as well as the most powerful email client PowerMTA, which sends out more than 1 million email messages per hour. from each server (according to test results for messages of 10-20 kb in size). Mailing leaves simultaneously from two dozens of servers, according to which it is scattered according to a clever formula for the most rapid and high-quality delivery without delay.

Of the Russian providers Mail.ru, literally the other day, the first one added such functionality, therefore, in the very near future, UniSender will begin to process complaints about spam and from mail users.
