so, having rdns point back to me makes handling abuse reports much easier (that is, it makes it much more likely I will get the complaint rather than my upstream) - so I am going to require you to stay on a .xen.prgmr.com rdns until you have been a paying customer for 3 months.
Like everything, exceptions can be made, but if I don't know you, it's three months (or you can pay up-front for three months, with the understanding that you won't get it back if I shut you down for AUP violations.)
the prgmr.com AUP:
http://prgmr.com/aup.html
pretty standard, except for the bit where I prohibit all bulk mail without my approval.
I'm not interested in hosting even most double-opt in lists- most of the larger lists, even if they are legitimately double-opt in, generate more complaints than I am willing to deal with at these prices. If you are a legitimate mail sender, I would suggest you start with http://isipp.com

this policy has been reascended; we now do rdns for everyone. the whois data for the IP still points to me so abuse reports still go to the right place.
