| Re: Ugh... One reason I have SpeakEasy as my ISP is because they don't block ports nor have limitations against servers. If SE blocked port 25, killing my email server, I would look elsewhere. I don't think SE will do that, however, as such an open ToS is part of its attractiveness.
I would call SpeakEasy a fairly major ISP these days.
BUT I do agree that methods should be made to enable blocking ports on a per-subscriber basis. If I neglect my updates and security, I would have no problem with SE blocking port 25 for a few months if I were found to be a spam relay. In fact, I'd encourage it.
Keeping one's address book as a separate text file is a bit extreme. Myself, I use Mozilla for email and web browsing. So far, haven't had anything infect my machine, much less access and use my address book.
But I guess for some using Mozilla is just as extreme as keeping their address book as a separate text file
