No Mail Forms on x10?

Just wanted to confirm that a mail form on x10 is a waste of time since x10 is banned by gmail and hotmail?

The ban by Hotmail and others is due to past abuse by some users here of the x10 mail servers. A lot of free hosting services have the same problem.

The best thing to do is

1. Set up a Google Apps account for your domain. Will take .co.cc , .com , .x10.bz, etc
2. Point your MX records to Google Apps, so all your mail for the domain goes there
3. Use PHPMailer (or other, or script it yourself) to use STMP to send mail from the form through your Google Apps account. Most CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal) should either have an admin setting or a plugin that will do this.

Cool thanks.
I actually already have GoogleApps for my domain.
Just thought they did not like such SMTP bouncing and really do not want an email on site.
I will google up more info and can hopefully find a script I can embed.
I just am using a REAL free host that will let me use real scripts...
Just a shame some boneheads ruined for everyone else.
Thought I would start here logically, but was corrected on that and noticed someone implied about the ban.
Thanks

Thanks guys. FormMail worked fine and was easy to config.
Have noticed no blacklist probs or did I have to play any relay games.
