From my previous ISP (datatone) I was able to get hackerwhacker to do a
scan.

When I try to do the same thing while connected to my new ISP
(OptimumOnline, a cable connection), I do not receive the key, and a
message comes up in the browser reporting that my ISP does not accept
mail from this (i.e., the hackerwhacker) address.

Why would an ISP not want users to be able to find out how vulnerable
their systems are?
