Hostmonster needs to set "allow_user_rules" to 1 in the system
configuration file. I asked about this and that's something that
they will not do.

No, I'd consider that a rather sane decision. Back when my
distribution
had user accounts with shell access, I had custom rules disabled too.
Sue, but how long ago was that? The way to properly host people now
is with virtualization. They have their 'own' machine and what they
muck up can only much up THEIR "machine". Might not be the best choice
for a small hosting company, but for a large one anything else seems
senseless. Heck, even for me, if I ever get back into hosting it is
going to be purely with virtualized machines. You want ftp and non-
secure email? Knock yourself out. I have a restore image handy to put
the system back when you get totally pwned.
The reason is that some people don't understand how to write rules,
putting mundane words, often without word-breaks, or enormous globs
that
just destroy the system's efficiency. Then they score these
poorly-written rules with ten points and wonder why they're missing so
much mail.
Yes, and people buy chainsaw to cut down trees and take off their
legs. This is not the fault of the store selling the chainsaws. This
is why you make sure they can only touch their own trees.
