Almost all residential ISPs block outbound SMTP to prevent their IP space from being used to send spam. Does that cause them to lose common carrier status?

- R0b0t1 5y agoInterpreting the law as written, yes. I think the bigger issue is some will not re-enable it. Common carrier protections allow you to respond to abuse once you realize it exists and that such usage breaks the law. However you don't get to filter to enforce your chosen morality.
