OT - Looking for host for my bounce mailbox

[Sesso]

I'm not surprised that aws would be blocked by Google.  My servers have been attacked my compromised aws servers almost daily. I can imagine the amount of spam coming out of them.  Google and live will block whole subnets if it's really bad. 

It seems like you could use a low dollar VPS and have shell access to a server.

The number of bounces would be low, and it would be a receive-only mailbox, so volume would be almost zero and there'd be no concern for backups, etc., but the system would have to have good availability. I'd pay a token amount for the hosting if needed.

The bounces account does not show any "suspicious activity" so I don't know what Google's problem is with the fetch-bounces process trying to log in, but it's not authenticating. I saw one reference online to AWS being blocked by Google. Our provider doesn't let me have shell access on the hosting system, but he may have a trick or two before giving up.
