I keep trying to switch permanently to SMTP-TLS, but it gets blocked by 
hotel high speed Internet and many dialup POPs (they actively grab all 
attempts to connect to SMTP servers and route them to their own, whether 
you like it or not, and their own doesn't do SMTP-TLS).

The reed.com server runs on a hosting service that refuses to implement SSL 
as a standard offering.   I'd be happy to switch.  Got any suggestions of 
hosting services that run a small site for $400/year and offer SSL?   In 
any case, since no one sends data to the site, and my stuff is public, so 
far this is not a big issue.   But I'd like to fix it nonetheless.
