If you can't trust MS marketing who can you trust? In other news, I was off line for ten days. This may be relevant to those looking for an ISP.

Great question! It turns out I have a conflict on both the 12th and the 19th. So I'm cool with having it on another day.. I know people have scouts and stuff, I'd even be cool with the 26th. What do people think?' Thanks, Tim.

Just to followup here, Linode is NOT blocking port 25 either inbound or outbound, nor 465 or 587. I've been running stoffel.org on there with mail and http for years now. It's only email TO @charter.net which is being blocked. And I've looked at all the UCE blacklists and my IP isn't listed. *shrug* Not much else I can do. Right now I'm playing with vultr VPS to see how that works and if I run into problems, but I honestly see me moving to panix down the line. I'm happy to pay more for a better service where I can run my own VPS and mail setup. More as I get this moving better over the Xmas downtime.
