I agree fully with your position. this is also the same position i have. maybe we should consider, that if you provder free-dial services (without identification of customer) to block SMTP completely. but i won't start a ethical discussion about when and how to filter if free-dialup etc... i think term 'free internet' doesn't exist any longer (for ISP's meaning, the end-user has another definition of 'free internet'). greetings steven ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
