Bellsouth is one of the ISPs currently owned by AT&T. One of the visible differences is that bulk foldering for Bellsouth domains is highly correlated with bulk foldering at Yahoo.

There are no published limits for connection or sending limits. There does seem to be a limit on the number of unknown users any sender can attempt, and sending to too many non-existent addresses will cause rate limiting by Bellsouth.
