> MailChannels main customers are web hosting providers who don’t own the domains they send emails from!

That's the lamest excuse I've heard in a while.

Web hosting providers generally don't "own" the domains they host, but they absolutely know which domains they host. Routing domains to customer accounts/directories is the whole point of web hosting!

All they need is some sort of cPanel integration to report the list of domains and tie each domain to a randomly generated key. All of this can (and should) be automated without bothering the end users in any way.




What about mailing lists? How about mail forwarding?


The hosting companies have full access to any forwarding configuration set up by their customers, too. It all goes through their control panel anyway.
