If you're on a black-hole list, it's easier to find a new relay than to

If you use SSL to connect to the SMTP relay, your login credentials
can't easily be "sniffed".

When I first started participating in Usenet Political discussions, I
used my hotmail address - then one day I tried to login and got a "go to
hell, you spammer" denial message. Same thing with Yahoo.
Screw 'em, both.
