That's > tough. It's hard to believe, too. You have any ISP you want if you go with a 56Kbps modem, or even you could get LMDTS link (too expensive) but if you want ADSL, you only have a company. Some companies start now offering its own network but I don't think they are available in more of a 5% of the Spanish homes. The other 95% of the ADSL connections are from several companies but the one who gives you the physical link is the same. It's called "monopoly". Of course, you have alternatives like Cable modem companies but that's another history with its own problems. The fact is that because we don't have choices in Spain I don't think we should be banned. They just don't care about the spammers, ok block the IPs where the spam comes from but please, leave the other IPs frees. BTW, this thread is going offtopic, I'm just against black lists and I think that closed lists like Santiago suggest is a good solution, the GNOME lists are configured that way and we don't have any problem with SPAM (only the list admins, but that's easily avoidable with a good team of listmasters). > > >> There is no reason to accept mail from mass-market ADSL subscribers. > > > > Why? because you say that? > > Mass-market ADSL means lots of home users, which means unprotected > Windows machines, which means compromised machines, which means email > worms and spam, which means tons of useless email messages.
