My cable modem provider filters port 25, so I can't run my own SMTP server. Their mail servers suck. Yes, I could pay for a business class cable modem connection and they'd unblock the port... but I'd likely still be filtered.

Guess who is having a dedicated 1U set up right now? ;-)

I think Paul is right, there is a small niche market for this.
