(the name is actually quite arbitrary and .com sites are not subject to any different restrictions that .org sites face). - insist that your feed site (whatever it is) rewrite your headers to your specifications, within reason (e.g. not explicitly percentifying you behind their main relay) - do comparison shopping; find several possible places to get a connection from, and compare rates/services/etc. it would be nice to have a standard terms and conditions contract that multiple providers of this sort of service (news, mail, mx) would adhere to; that would make comparison shopping easier. a service providers scorecard would be interesting too.
