Some of us are *not* spammers but still prefer to access outside mail servers. I see no valid reason for an ISP to block legitimate access to external mail servers and force us to use their own unreliable and slow mail relays.

Arbitrary, heavy-handed ISP policies have got to stop. One tool that may put some power in the hands of the end users is encryption: they can't discriminate on different types of traffic if they can't tell it apart because it's encrypted. Users should, as a matter of principle, encrypt as much of their traffic as possible even if it's not sensitive information.
