Is this common for a Business DSL account?

I know someone who works for a small business with a small business DSL account from Bellsouth. They are experiencing problems sending mass e-mails (one e-mail with 100 or so recipients). After sending such e-mails, a delivery error notice comes back within a few minutes from the "System Administrator" saying that no carrier was available to deliver the e-mails. I am now on the phone with Bellsouth, and they are telling me there is a limit on the number of e-mails I can send; it's like 75-100 per hour? Is this common?

 
Why aren't they running their own mail servers?

It has nothing to do with DSL, the same limit would still be there on DSL, dial-up, cable, a T1, etc.

The admin of the mail server has set that limit to keep people from spamming from their mail server.

Well, they do have a machine running Win2K Server there...

Maybe I can help. Anyone want to provide a crash course on setting up a SMTP server on Win2K Server?
 
pay for an smtp service, buy a cheap linux box and a static ip and voila smtp server to boot!
