Why are you top-posting?

And another reason it may be blocked is the same reason *I* get blocked a
few times a year: those spam blockers that block mailhosts. 20 years ago,
sure. But when you have a domain hosted, as I do, at Hostmonster, and
since I'm not paying for a business account, there are literally tens or
hundreds of thousands of domains whose email is going through them, I
don't care how many admins you have, you can't keep up with the scum...
and so EVERY SINGLE BLOODY DOMAIN'S EMAIL in all those is blocked.

They don't seem to look for "spam from many domains from the same
mailserver", just "is a lot of spam coming from that mailhost".

I first ran into that in the early oghts, when one of them blocked ALL
EMAIL from Chicago roadrunner.. which was most of the folks online in the
entire city of Chicago.
