Yes, that's what "Free" does in France. My ISP (Nerim) doesn't "offer" any filtering. Orange disables direct SMTP at least by default (I don't know whether this is configurable), but this is madness, because if you choose to use BIND or an external DNS (there are good reasons to do this), you cannot send mail at all, since the DNS configuration of the e-mail gateways at Orange is broken. > And those who are talking about "unfiltered Internet access" should > return to real world where is some filtering even between major > providers. ;-) My ISP doesn't do any filtering, and even allows its clients to be their own ISP (selling Internet access to others). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
