Setting Up a Dedicated Mail Server - Metering
(Page 4 of 4 )
You can meter your email sending by changing the settings on your exchange software. This is to prevent your IP address from being tagged as "spamming" by service providers such as AOL and maybe even Yahoo. It seems that AOL has a ten second per email rule of thumb (from any one IP address), so you should note that when sending to @aol.com email addresses, and even @yahoo email addresses.

In case you are not convinced yet, check out some of these advantages most dedicated mail server services offer, courtesy of Netmagic (also check out Rankcase; their customer service is exceptional).
