Mail monitoring now checks AT&T and Yahoo
In an earlier post, we talked about how we use a monitoring system that forwards test e-mail to other large ISPs, then checks to make sure the message was promptly delivered.
We already check delivery to AOL, Comcast, GMail and Verizon, and we’ve now added AT&T/SBCGlobal and Yahoo mail. We’ll continue to expand it in the future.
An extensive monitoring and alert system is at the heart of our reliability, really; it’s what allows us to know that things are working properly. We can guarantee that if our customers send mail to those ISPs right now, it’s being delivered. That’s something few other companies even bother to check.
