Secondly: in re: Linode being blocked for email, I'm finding it hard to verify this (and in fact, I see evidence to the contrary). Are you certain that your mail server is not listed on any blacklists? If you are getting an "AUP#In-1000" this would indicate a UCE listing. You can try the community forums to get more information about the issue.
Linode automatically blocks standard SMTP ports (25, 465, and 587) to combat spam. You can get them to lift the block per-node by submitting a support ticket, it was pretty easy for me to do when I was still on Linode.
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.
