If you send any REAL volume, Interspire is not the best MTA and there are plenty better.

As for the other stuff you mentioned in regard to the majors/tld (aol, hotmail, gmail, etc), you are correct. Each has different rules, throttles, hourly limits, among other tweaks needed to get into the inbox. If you have a decent sized list, you will need to segment it accordingly to be effective.

Most of the adult membership and newsletters I have seen to date are mainly the majors (aol, hotmail, gmail). Meaning, most seem to use those for their porn. Each one of those is a different bag o tricks to email properly, and you should learn them. You can always go to a real ESP with clean ips and try and mail out that way, as they typically will have some level of trust from the different ISP, but, that can be pricey when you pay according to volume.

Good luck.
