[tor-relays] Email Blocked by ISP

[Neel Chauhan]

Looking at your email address, you have an ISP assigned email. Unless 
you work for Spectrum, you shouldn't use an ISP email account. I'd 
advise you either:

  * Sign up for a third-party email service like Gmail, Outlook, 
ProtonMail, or Tutanota

  * If you can maintain one, run your own email server (I do this myself 
but many don't recommend it as email servers are complex)

Assuming you have a middle relay, I don't think the relay caused the 
email problems. I believe someone hacked your email, whether through a 
hacker attacking the Spectrum email server or a virus/malware gaining 
access to your email via a browser exploit. Check for this first.
