Adds operator-facing material covering the SMTP outbound filter issue uncovered by per-exit probing of the live mainnet: - New email template: Request to unblock outbound SMTP, based on the wording that successfully convinced OneProvider to lift the filter on two of my own servers. - Adds the new template to community-counsel/templates.mdx with short context. - New troubleshooting section in vps-isp.mdx with a step-by-step decision tree (test direct egress, ticket the hoster, identify IP-reputation issues at the receiving mail provider). - Updates isp-sheet.csv with SMTP outbound notes for several existing entries (Flokinet, Hostinger, Linode, OVH, Mebilcom, Oneprovider, Ionos, Leaseweb, M247) and adds new entries for hosters with significant Nym presence not previously listed: HostHatch, netcup, Contabo, Hetzner, WorkTitans, xneelo, DigitalOcean. The behaviour notes are based on a probe of all 472 exit gateways currently in the network using the official nym-socks5-client v1.1.74. Per-exit raw results and probe code are kept at https://github.com/vvmmaann/nym-checker for reproducibility.

Operators may not want to reveal to their hoster that the server runs a Nym node. Adds a minimal first variant that simply asks for the SMTP ports without naming Nym - this is the wording that actually worked on OneProvider for the report author. Full Nym-disclosure version remains as Variant B for operators who prefer it.

What
Documentation-only PR adding operator-facing material around the SMTP outbound filter issue we surfaced via per-exit probing of the live mainnet.
Per chat discussion with the Nym team (the original community thread started by
apricotastronoutskisreporting Thunderbird failures through Tech_Pundit Ashburn exits), this PR covers three of the four follow-ups that came out of the investigation:isp-sheet.csvwith notes on observed SMTP outbound behaviour for several existing entries, plus new entries for hosters with significant Nym presence not previously listed.vps-isp.mdxtroubleshooting section with a step-by-step decision tree for operators encountering this issue.Everything here is grounded in a probe of all 472 exit gateways in the current network using the official
nym-socks5-clientv1.1.74. Per-exit raw probe data and the probe code are kept at https://github.com/vvmmaann/nym-checker for reproducibility.Files changed

The original
apricotastronoutskiscomplaint (Tech_Pundit Ashburn, 4 nodes, all OneProvider) is in the HOSTER_BLOCKED category and would be resolved if Tech_Pundit opened the suggested ticket with their hoster.Notes
nym-wg-test.dev.nymte.chtest gateway operated by the Foundation itself is in the HOSTER_BLOCKED category. Worth surfacing internally.This change is
