But you said "'Free' or 'Unregistered' dialup". Someone earlier mentioned DSL/cable connections. Are those what you'd consider 'unregistered'? I'd agree with the free ones--you can offer what you want. However, I certainly wouldn't pay a cent to a provider who all of a sudden decides to start filtering for me. Does Switzerland have the equivalent of a 'Common Carrier' law? Would filtering make you liable to start being aware of other types of traffic? Think of certain Vaudoise she-judges... > OTOH, portbased blocking is not sufficient to deal with spam or > any other form of abuse. Yup. Occasional smacks upside the head, however... :-) We use SMTP over TLS combined with SASL auth to allow sending coming from an authorized person anywhere on the Internet. Works a charm with Postfix, but I don't know if it's a feasible solution for an ISP to force their customers to do something similar. > -- Matthias Cheers, -John ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
