I did.
"Reverse *what*?"
Just to clue you in. They used to have the only two authoritative
servers for their reverse zone sitting on the same LAN with the IP#s
next to each other. Then that LAN goes out (happens from time to time)
ther is *NO* rDNS, with the obvious "lame delegation" time-outs from
servers I (as a customer of theirs) try to access. (In all fairness,
I just checked my facts, and it seems as they have recently improved
on that situation.)
Like I said, I barely trust them to move bits to my box.

I *understand* that I'm a rare exception.
The problem is that the world *won't let me* be a well functioning
exception. My ISP won't let me have my own rDNS, and "you" won't let
me use port 25 properly.

With that attitude you're never going to improve things ...
