Linux Friendly ISP (and reliability of e-mail service)

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

The problem with AOL, Yahoo, MSN and a few others is that they have 
relatively small mailboxes which fill up quickly. Another ISP that screws 
up email frequently is TIAC. It is not unusual for me to see bounces on 
one of the listservs for all the TIAC addresses for some stupid reason. 
MSN is another service that bounces email for some rather stupid 
reasons, such as "resource in use". Otherwise, I don't see too many 
bouces from the other local and national ISPs.
