In my case one of my customers is on hetzner.de: reason being that he's got 16TB of photos of motorbikes and I cannot find anywhere else that can provide that amount of storage without it costing an arm and a leg (and coming with vast amounts of compute power we don't need). [1] The problem was that the IP address was blackholed as being in a dodgy block. I thought that this was like being issued an ASBO because your someone else on the street threw noisy parties. But overall the mailops attitude was "your problem, not ours". It's annoying - a btinternet customer has a reasonable expectation that a *desired* email - order confirmation - should be delivered.

I guess we are still happy for now but suggestions for alternatives are welcome. Andy - feel free to quote!
