What kind of trouble? Certainly not legal trouble. There's nothing that says that a publicly accepted standard has to be followed - Microsoft would be in a world of legal trouble if there was. Verisign themselves are breaking a a whole slew of standards with this move. ISC can develop their software however they like. If a network admin doesn't agree with what they're doing, they're welcome to use any competing product. Neither Verisign nor anyone else has the authority to mandate how an admin runs their network. They own the network and can determine what traffic is or isn't allowed. </IANAL> -- "A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies." - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
