Yes, someone should give them kudo's for that, at least they made an
effort.. of course, someone occasionally gets around that.. saw last
week someone abusing their IP space, but in general reports from that
network are GREATLY reduced from historical levels.

PS, the 'hardest' part for a hosting provider is those that explain they
are a legitimate bulk emailer <sic> and playing police for those that
really aren't.. which is why making 'them' the responsible party via a
clear 'rwhois' entry is essential for those cases. And a good abuse
department that can address reports of abuse.

Linode blocks port 25 on all new accounts/servers. You need to talk to them and
explain who and what you are, before they open it manually for you.

How can a server provider do this? Apart from blocking port 25 of course,
and forcing all emails of their customers to go through their SMTP server,
in which case they wouldn't be selling a bare machine anymore. If it was
"not even that difficult", I'd guess they would all do it.
