Haven't noticed that blocking yet. Outbound was fixed easily enough. 
Also don't recall getting any notice about those plans! They turned on a 
new 'spam blocking' feature that I promptly disabled. 
To quote Python: 'I told 'em we already got one....'

This is one of thone times I'd hop over to one of those nice static-ip,

Yikes.
