Would it be advisable to change "
It is simple to implement blocking port 25, and would benefit Shaw greatly"
to something like "It is simple to implement blocking port 25 for non-business accounts, and would benefit Shaw greatly"
and, also to suggest that they offer to block port 25 for the business accounts that do not want to run their own servers

Hi there,
I'm writing regarding Shaw's entire network being added to blacklists all over the world. I have a Shaw business internet package, and when I sent a message yesterday, I received a bounce saying:
<quote> The Postfix program
<email removed>: host mail.zoneedit.com[209.152.174.160] said: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [68.147.28.194] blocked using l1.spews.dnsbl.sorbs.net; ! [1] shawcable, see http://spews.org/ask.cgi?S3163 (in reply to RCPT TO command) </quote>
If you visit http://spews.org/html/S3163.html you will see nearly all of Shaw's IP addresses are blocked, the main mail server itself is in danger of being blocked, and there is a comment:

Surely that isn't the reputation Shaw wants. It is simple to implement blocking port 25, and would benefit Shaw greatly. It would, first off, save legitimate business customers this headache. It would cut down network traffic, stopping SPAM traffic in it's tracks. It would also require those running a MX to upgrade to a business package.
I would appreciate a reply on this, as it's being followed by some members on the Linux users group here in Calgary, who would like to know if Shaw will take action, or allow their customers to be blacklisted.
Thanks, Nick W
