Many of 'em do. If your contract says you can run servers on your connection, then you should call and complain.
On the other hand, if Charter prohibits running servers on your connection...well, you get what you pay for.
What does whether you can run a server have to do with *initiating* SMTP traffic. As for the original question. Optus blocks but if you call customer support they will remove the block with a warning "if you spam we will block it" which is reasonable based on the published AUP. Yes they also added the block w/o informing anyone. I would be calling Charter and asking for the block to be removed.
Either way, this is one of those issues where everyone has an opinion and they've all been stated before.

I am still blocking considerable spam pumped out by 'bots on those networks.
