I don't think you are working for or at a real ISP. You don't seem to have a clue how things work there (or don't). There is no need for a Nomadix whatever because you don't see the (Ethernet) MAC address anyway on dial-up links. PPPs IPCP is taking care of the IP address assignments. Neither is DHCP a problem in this context. If you want to do something, divert outgoing port 25 through your mailserver. Works on Cisco's and other router systems (via policy-routing). Can also be done on Linux und FreeBSD. Next use either connection limiting features (such as FreeBSD ipfw2) or something like (or work-alike) Fredy's Dial-SPAM-Block system. Either one works very well for the purpose of defeating spam via free-dials. In case someone doesn't know to implement that, I'm happy to consult you in that matter (I give you instant-clue and you give me instant- money). -- Andre ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
