Sure, because I'm on their wire, they can obviously find out some level of information about me. But by me relaying through their servers, I make it really easy for them. If you're just using their wire, your traffic is going by them at the network level. Using their mailserver, you're "advertising" that traffic up at the protocol level. So, it's more conspicuous to boot. Mail servers are also likely to be configured to log (or even archive) by default. By comparison, it is less likely that an ISP will have a network analyzer or packet logger on your line. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
