every time i tell somebody that they shouldn't bother trying to send e-mail
from their dsl or cablemodem ip address due to the unlikelihood of a well
staffed and well trained and empowered abuse desk defending the reputation
of that address space, i also say "buy a 1U and put it someplace with a real
abuse desk, and use your dsl or cablemodem to tunnel to that place."

and then a few questions come in -- "where can i put a 1U for the $50/month
you claim is possible?"  so as a public service i've decided to gather some
answers to that question and put them on the web someplace so i can refer
folks to it when i'm asked.

if you know of a place that offers 1U/month for $50/month with some kind of
bandwidth limitations (moderate peak, low average), and a strong abuse desk
(including repossessing the 1U server upon proof of abuse or neglect), please
send me e-mail with a url and some details.  i'll summarize it all online
and report the aggregation URL back to this mailing list.
