All they have to do is "permit" port 25 traffic (that's "PERmit" with stress on the first syllable, not "perMIT" with stress on the last syllable). i.e., license it: Block port 25 for every subscriber until they apply for a port 25 usage permit. Then unblock the port. If they abuse port 25, just yank their permit and re-block the port. Alternatively, they could just adopt net neutrality as company policy. Now there's an idea. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
