Unfortunately Italian bigger ISP's don't have admins like Mr. Cocker :(
Generally speaking their smtp server sucks: are often down (for
_several_ days) or way too busy (4xx at connection time), misconfigured
and might take ages to delivery your 1/2kb plain text message.

Sure... except this won't solve the problem...
You can buy the most expensive adsl solution from any of the ISP you've
quoted with your own _statically_ allocated ip addresses (and pls note
that you do pay for each static ip) only to find out that the assigned
_static_ ip/range is actually marked as *dialup* in the whois db.
Acording to my own experience the only way to have this problem solved
is barking at the isp every damn day, annoy everyone at their call
center for weeks and if you're lucky enough you can end up speaking with
a tech guy and see the infamous "dial" removed.
