No diesel, just an inexpensive battery UPS. Only good for about a 15
minute outage. But, note that server unavailability doesn't bounce
mail unless it continues for a long time.

Agreed. I'm not telling anyone to do it. In fact, I would advise
most people not to. It can be a hassle to maintain.

I recently had a problem with Time Warner. They were blocking mail
from *all* home DSL addresses. I got that straightened out, but have
since become sensitive to this kind of blanket treatment.

Punish me (if you must) for what I do, not for my connection protocol.
