Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services
solrize@lemmy.ml 4 weeks agoYes, that too. I hadn’t even thought about trying to send email from a home ISP. Everyone knows you basically can’t. I thought the idea was to receive email rather than send it, so you wouldn’t be relying on some bigtech company to store it for you.

For what it’s worth, regarding port blocks, I had relatively good experiences with that with a local ISP here. There’s no guarantee, but many ISPs block SMTP to present accidental botnets from sending email and not technical users, so by asking might already be enough to show that you know enough about it to be unblocked.
As for the blocks, many spamlists you can get yourself unlisted. But I don’t know what permanent range blocks may exist in some systems beyond that.
