Thanks for the reply, BigJohn

I guess my only remaining question is about auto-pilot. I understand what you are saying about script vulnerabilities, and as a hosting company there is only so much you can do about that. My real concern is resellers with auto-pilot (allowing for automatic account creation and setup) because people have been using this to set up accounts for the unlimited e-mail addresses and using the servers to send UCE (spam). This in turn causes those servers to become blacklisted. Also during the times when they are really hitting the servers hard doing there "marketing" campaign there is a noticeable difference in the server performance.

If there is any way I can get on a server where auto-pilot is not, and will not be used I would prefer that. It may even be a deal breaker for me, as this had been a big problem at Surpass since they first started offering that feature to resellers. Also, the host I am moving from is currently blacklisted, and that is one reason I am moving. I personally feel that if the auto-pilot servers are not segregated they should be.
