-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As much as it sucks, I have stopped accepting and forwarding mail on my residential connection. Too many headaches caused by inexperienced mail admins, and relying on Shaw and or Telus is not my idea of a good time. Any mail that needs to be sent from my home LAN (really only logcheck), connects to my business mail server, using TLS and SMTP auth. In exims config it is referred to as "smart host".
Mail delays are Shaw's middle name. You will likely have to put up with it or find someone that you can use as a relay. This may not apply to you, but for less than the cost of a Shaw or telus business connection, you can often lease a server. I am not even sure if Shaw's business IP blocks can be differentiated from their residential. I know that my telus connection is not black listed, but it wasn't cheap (compared to regular DSL/Cable, not compared to local co-lo costs which seem high for the lack of bandwidth that you get).
