As a pre-emtive move, I would like to send a nicely (professionaly)
worded letter to TWC/RR pointing out the added value that many of gain
its customers gain from running our own servers from home.  In my case,
I save $20/mo by not having to host my web/list server elsewhere.  It
is low-volume, so it doesn't cost RR anything...and provides considerable
value to me.  We need to communicate this sentiment to the RR
management in an intelligent and understandable manner.  And suggest
alternatives...like checking machines for open relays and puhishing
the guilty customers, rather than the well-behaved.

However, I think that sending this to a local support line will not
get very far.  Anyone here have suggestions on getting this communicated
to higher-level persons -- those that make the decisions?

Chris
