Even being with a clueful ISP like Speakeasy is no guarantee that you 
won't end up on IP blacklists for email. I was forced to set up my 
network to relay though Speakeasy's mail server because AOL won't accept 
email from my STATIC address. (It's the whole address block, not just 
mine, and they won't change it.)

No, I don't like it. But we've already had that discussion on the list, 
so it's probably best not to go through it again.
