RE: SMTP-friendly VPS provider where I can also get a BGP feed

I can't speak to the bgp feed as this seems like unnecessary complication to me, but I use https://www.racknerd.com/ 
for personal email/web hosting KVM VM's and have found them to be excellent. They have yearly black Friday specials 
(last years - https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/ ) that are very attractive. They don't block any ports on their 
US/Europe VM's. I use a primary pair in one city and rsync everything to a backup pair in another city (as well as home 
just to make sure). Not all cities can get V6 but most do.

Hey all,

I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this; however, I thought maybe the NANOG community would be able to 
point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a place that I can host a mailer.  My primary use case is a Mailman-style technical discussion list; 
much like NANOG but software related instead of network related: READ: non-commercial in nature.

I'm currently a vultr customer, but they're refusing to unblock port 25 on my account.  I've tried explaining my use 
case but no matter who I talk to over there they just keep pointing me to their spam policy.

Thanks!
-Daniel
