I should wish to comment that this sometimes happens to me even
when I am trying to contact the smtp server owned by my own paid ISP.
I have found that this happens at times when there are too many
subscribers trying to access the same smtp server at the same time.
It also happens once in a while when the server is temporarily
down. Whenever this happens I just wait for a while and try again
later. Then all will be well. I don't believe that the service
installs any mechanism intended for deliberately blocking my access.

Sam Heywood
