So what ISP was blocked?
What are you, the ISP police? Not that it's any of your business, it
was X0 DSL and I paid just under $100/month and hosted my server at
home; it was blacklisted as part of a larger block of IP addresses
beyond my control. When I moved physically, I took the opportunity to
move my server to a hosted service for guppylake.com, and NOW am on a
normal cable modem at home. I've been associated with the domain
guppylake.com for almost twenty years, however, and I rather like to
continue sending mail from that address even though I now obtain my
bitstream from Comcast.
But I imagine that X0 is also on your list of ISP's-that-are-evil, so
it was my fault for using them in the first place.
Why do I suspect you are being disingenuous
and that it was a $30/month account?
I don't know, perhaps because you have a suspicious nature and are
quick to assume the worst about people? I am not really the sort of
person who tells lies on an IETF list just to make a point.
For my part, I am sufficiently paranoid to fear that ISP's might
advocate port 25 blocking because they hope it will lock people into
email addresses that are less portable (e.g. nsb(_at_)comcast(_dot_)net). But
when they give other reasons, no matter how irrational I may think they
sound, I try at least to give their sincerity the benefit of the doubt.
