Think about what you just wrote -- if things actually worked this way, nobody who ran SpamAss would ever receive any mail. :) (if you're a conspiracy theorist or just weird, set up an ipsec, ssh, or gre tunnel and call it done). What's it buy you? Unblocked ports, control of in-addrs associated with your addresses, data center UPSes, data center cooling, (still subject to Acts of God as recent experiences in NoVA showed, but that's life), not having your *server* in a block that is identified as dialup. ---Rob
