I don't know why this should be especially surprising. They probably
use RBL's, etc, just like everybody else and I doubt the RBL cares
whether the source is earthlink vs. earthlink's address space.
Wouldn't it be easier to just set your linux box to use submission
and one of earthlink's mail servers, just like any other client
ought to be doing these days?
