I have ATT at Home and they still haven't blocked anything for me.  My website is still going strong, and I'm composing this email via a SSH session from work to my home PC right now.  It will then send the email out and when I get it again (after posting to discuss at ntlug), it will be sent directly to my PC.  I host all my own email.

I don't know what @Home's reasons are for blocking some people and not blocking others, but you aren't going to hear me complaining.  My CodeRed attack count has gone down and I can still run the services I need to (Apache, SSH, Email).

I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
