I think the restriction is OTT especially in the light of civil liberties issues. I do not like the fact that a number of governments (including most european ones) now have the right to access all emails that pass through an ISP's server. They do not have the right to access private server systems unless they have a warrant. BIG BROTHER is watching far too much. Frankly I am surprised that organisations such as Postfix are not aware of the issue and realise the civil liberties implicati Another emerging issue is cable operators refusing to allow fixed IP address so they can receive revenue from reporting on user usage data. Additionally low volume users, unless they pay a high premium and subscribe to a business service cannot acquire fixed IPs. IN some areas that are primarily residential they will not even allow fixed IPs at any price. This movement to commercialise the internet and limit access in this way is deplorable when there are alternative methods of dealing with legitimate problems.
