I am running my small businesses on my own linux server in my basement,
on a Rogers fibre business account and have seen no issues.

Back then, we had a hard time proving that our server was not a
spammer. We had issues with outlook.com <http://outlook.com> (and
other Micro$oft domains) as well as gmail.com <http://gmail.com> and
yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com>. And Videotron still refuses to whitelist
our IP address. They claim it is our message format which is not
"compliant".
OK, back to the beach and the pool

Hi Jean-Francois,
I completely agree. One of my concerns is how this affects
businesses,
such as Canadian web hosting companies. I feel it would be easy to
think
"there's a problem with that company" when the 'problem' is not
with the
specific company at all.
