I just received a "friendly" e-mail from Cox cable.
Their latest idea for fighting spam is to block all traffic to 3rd party
e-mail servers.

Naturally since I'm only a paying customer, they don't have to think that I
might want to send e-mails too. So far the only reliable e-mail server I had
was my own server in Texas.

I wonder when they start blocking ssh also, since tunneling through ssh
seems to be the only way for me to continue e-mailing anything.
